Loic Remy is yet to inform Newcastle United over whether he wants to stay.
Remy is currently considering his options, with interest from both the Premier League and La Liga, says the Evening Chronicle.
But Frenchman Remy is hoping to be ready to lead the line against Arsenal on Monday night.
And with Arsene Wenger keen on taking Remy to the Emirates Stadium, United's encounter with the Gunners could even be looked at as an audition for the on-loan Queens Park Rangers man.
