QPR boss Redknapp: Sandro an absolutely fantastic signing for us

Tottenham midfielder Sandro has signed for QPR in a permanent deal.

The 25 year-old has put pen to paper on a three-year deal, after Rangers agreed an undisclosed fee with Spurs for the midfielder's services.

Harry Redknapp - who signed Sandro four years ago during his spell as manager at White Hart Lane - expressed his delight at adding the energetic midfielder to his ranks, commenting: "Sandro's a proper footballer and a top class professional - he's an absolutely fantastic signing for us. I couldn't be more pleased.

"He's been a massive target of mine all summer and I honestly didn't think we'd be able to pull it off - it's a real statement from the club, from the owners, to bring in a player of his undoubted ability.

"He brings energy, aggression, power and quality. They call him the Beast. He's not only a top quality footballer, but a fantastic boy as well. He'll lead by example for us.

"Tottenham fans loved him and I'm sure the QPR fans will too."
