Queens Park Rangers midfielder Sandro is poised for a move to Sporting Lisbon, bringing an end to his time in England.

The Portuguese club have opened talks regarding a swoop for the former Tottenham star and an agreement over a fee is imminent, with the midfielder due to discuss terms this week.

The 27-year-old, who has 17 caps for Brazil, has been in England since joining Spurs in 2010.

QPR midfielder Sandro is closing in on a summer move to Sporting Lisbon once a fee is agreed

The Brazilian spent the second half of the season on-loan at Premier League side West Brom

He has also played for West Bromwich Albion after joining the club on loan back in January.

The tough-tackling midfielder was almost forced to leave QPR back in August after visa problems forced the 27-year-old to return to Brazil for three months.

SANDRO CAREER STATISTICS Years Teams Apps/Goals 2007-2010 Internacional 68 (4)

2010-2014 Tottenham Hotspur 81 (3)

2014- Queens Park Rangers 28 (1)

2016- West Bromwich Albion (loan) 4 (0)



Sandro missed the first six games of this season and struggled to break into the side at Loftus Road before moving temporarily to the Midlands.

Sporting had a fine season in the Primeira Liga and finished second behind winners Benfica by just two points.

So, Sandro could be playing Champions League football next season if his move to the Portuguese capital is finalised.
