Newcastle United are ready to meet Loic Remy's buyout clause in his QPR contract.

The Daily Mail says Newcastle have not given up on the possibility of signing Loic Remy from QPR for his designated £8million buy-out.

Arsenal have long been considered favourites for the 27-year-old but have failed to match his personal terms.

Remy impressed during a loan spell at Newcastle last season, where he scored 14 goals in 24 starts for the Magpies.
