Viana returns to Portugal
Hugo Viana
Viana's career statistics
Newcastle midfielder Hugo Viana has returned to his old club Sporting Lisbon on a season-long loan deal.

The 21-year-old has been unhappy at St James' Park and narrowly missed out on a move back to his native country when a switch to Porto collapsed.

Viana has slipped down the pecking order at Newcastle after initially sparkling when Sir Bobby Robson brought him to the club for £8.5m in 2002.

He is the second midfielder to leave Newcastle this summer after Gary Speed.
