Peter Lovenkrands: 'Loic Remy would be a good signing for Newcastle United'

Peter Lovenkrands has said that Loic Remy would be a good signing for Newcastle United.

Remy scored 14 goals on loan with the Magpies last term, prompting a bid from Liverpool this summer.

However, the transfer fell through, leaving the ex-Marseille forward to return to Queens Park Rangers for pre-season.

The Magpies are reportedly interested in re-signing Remy and Lovenkrands is all for the idea.

He is quoted as saying by the Evening Chronicle: "They have signed some players and it will be interesting to see what they can do.

"I see that they are still looking for another striker – Pardew has my number if needs it!

"But if they get Loic Remy in again, who was fantastic for them last season, and they can keep him fit it would be fantastic for the club."

Newcastle begin their Premier League campaign with a home match against Manchester City.
