From the Club...

'ŽAN Celar has completed a permanent move to FC Basel for an undisclosed fee.

The 27-year-old forward joined QPR from FC Lugano two years ago. The Slovenian spent last
season on loan at 2. Bundesliga side Fortuna Düsseldorf.

During his time in W12, Celar made a total of 24 appearances, scoring twice.

CEO Christian Nourry said: “Žan had a challenging start to English football, working hard to
acclimatise to the league, adjusting with some good performances away to Cardiff and Watford
before suffering an unfortunate hamstring injury.

“Last season, he was keen to have a platform in Germany to play his football but unfortunately that did
translate into minutes on the pitch.

“He moves to a renowned Swiss club and returns to a league where he finished up as top scorer 24 months
ago.

“We wish him all the best for the rest of his career.”
