QPR have signed Scotland Under-21 centre-back Liam Morrison from Bayern Munich for an undisclosed fee and have also brought in Brazilian right-back Hevertton Santos.

Morrison, 21, joined Bayern from Celtic as a 16-year-old but did not make a first-team appearance for the German club. He spent last season on loan at Wigan Athletic, playing 35 times for the League One side.

Santos, 23, has moved to west London after his contract at Portuguese top-flight club Estrela da Amadora expired.

Rangers have not disclosed the length of either player's contract at Loftus Road.

“I know the Championship is a step up but I am confident I will be able to handle that step," Morrison told QPR's website. , external

Santos said: “I like this type of challenge. Life is made of opportunities and this is a big one for me.

“It was always my dream to play in England because I love the way you think about football here, the way you play football here. When you compare with other countries, it is like another sport.”
