Harry Redknapp has said that on-loan French striker Loic Remy is almost certain to leave QPR this summer. The striker is currently spending the season at Newcastle in order to play Premier League football and has impressed at St James’ Park, scoring 13 goals.
QPR themselves are fighting to gain promotion from the Championship after being relegated last year, and it seems highly unlikely that Remy will return to Loftus Road regardless of whether they get promotion.
Arsenal are a number of clubs reportedly chasing his signature, and Redknapp cannot see how QPR can stop him leaving while he has a buyout clause in his contract.
Redknapp said: “Remy wants to play Champions League football next season, so they tell me. The chances of us keeping him are not great if he’s got a buy-out clause.
“He’s done well at Newcastle, and one or two other big clubs are trying to get him, so there’s every chance he will go. I chased him at Tottenham, and I knew he would do well.
“He’s a scorer, and with the right team pushing to get in the top four, he’s capable of getting 20 goals. If I say he’s worth £20m, and his buy-out clause is £10m or whatever, then it’s difficult.”
