Eduardo Vargas gains work visa

Eduardo Vargas is now eligible to feature for Queens Park Rangers after obtaining his work visa.

The Chilean, who joined the R's from Napoli on loan this summer, spent the second half of last season on loan at Valencia, but will now ply his trade in the Premier League.

"Eduardo Vargas has obtained his working visa and is therefore eligible to feature for QPR," read a statement on the club's official website.

"The Chilean striker, who joined Rangers on a season-long loan deal from Napoli, is likely to make his Premier League bow against Manchester United at Old Trafford next Sunday."

Fellow new signing Niko Kranjcar has also received his international clearance.
