QPR boss Redknapp sets Remy asking price

QPR boss Harry Redknapp has set his asking price for Loic Remy.

Liverpool had agreed personal terms with the striker this summer having bid £8.5m for the France international but they pulled the plug at the last minute, reportedly over medical concerns.

Redknapp expressed his surprise at that turn of events, and now he insists that Liverpool would have got a bargain had the deal gone through.

"We hope Loic will stay," Redknapp told Sky Sports News HQ. "He is a fantastic player and his attitude since he's come back here has been first class. He's trained great and we're hoping he's here at the start of the season. We don't want to sell him.

"If you look at the prices of strikers at the moment, it's incredible. To me he should be a £20m striker in comparison to other strikers who are getting sold for £11m or £12m. To have lost him for the amount we were going to would have been too cheap so to have him back here is fantastic."
