Newcastle are interested in signing Loic Remy from Marseille, and have made contact with the French club over the 25 year old, reports The Guardian.
Remy is currently one of Ligue 1’s biggest stars, but a move to the Premier League could be likely as North London rivals Tottenham and Arsenal have also declared their interest in the Frenchman.
This summer at St James Park so far has been full of plenty of talk and very little action, and the speculation surrounding Demba Ba and a possible move away from Newcastle has been reignited as Rubin Kazan line up a £7 million for the former West Ham man, with a week left until his release clause expires.
Having been valued at £15 million, Remy would no doubt prove to be a fantastic attacking option for the Magpies, and Alan Pardew is looking to negotiate getting the Marseille man for a cheaper price as he enters the last year of his contract at Stade Velodrome.
Arsenal and Spurs are also interested however, and both have done significant strengthening attacking wise already this summer, as the battle for a top four place could become even more hotly contested in the upcoming season.
