QPR CEO Christian Nourry told the club website:, external "Zan had a challenging start to English football, working hard to acclimatise to the league.

"Last season, he was keen to have a platform in Germany to play his football but unfortunately that did not 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."
