Magpies again linked with Remy and agent says Bressan is set for QPR

Newcastle boss Alan Pardew is still pursuing the signing of Loic Remy from QPR, according to Goal.com.

Remy, 27, spent last season on loan at St James’ Park but has made it clear he is not keen on a permanent move.

He wants to stay in London and is desperate to join Arsenal but there has been no firm approach from the Gunners, Chelsea or Tottenham despite numerous reports of those clubs being interested.

That has apparently given Newcastle renewed hope that they could yet sign the France striker before the approaching transfer deadline.

Meanwhile, Brazilian centre-back Bressan, 21, is set to join QPR from Gremio, his agent Marcelo Lipatin has claimed.

“A proposal was made [by QPR] that matches what we expected. But we are still waiting the club to make an official offer,” Lipatin told Globo Esporte.

“But the way things are going it will probably happen. All parties have reached an agreement.”
