Newcastle boss confirms interest in Remy
Newcastle manager Alan Pardew has confirmed his interest in Loic Remy to the Northern Echo.
Striker Remy, 26, held talks with QPR and Newcastle in January before opting for a move to Loftus Road from Marseille.
A number of clubs have been linked with the France international, while Pardew remains interested in him and is also keen on Aston Villa’s Darren Bent.
Pardew said: “Both of those players are on our list. I make no bones about that.
“But they are under contract at other clubs. It’s difficult, you have to be careful.
“It’s nice for our fans to hear names, but I don’t want to disrupt other clubs’ preparations.
“We do need two strikers. Last year I didn’t think there was enough competition in that area for a Premier League team.”
Remy, who in May was arrested on suspicion of rape, is on bail until September.
