QPR seal Remy deal

QPR have confirmed they have completed the signing of French international Loic Remy from Marseille for an undisclosed club record fee

The striker has agreed a four-and-a-half year deal with the struggling Premier League side and is line to make his debut against West Ham at the weekend. He was linked with a move to Newcastle but has opted for Rangers, who are 1.50 to be relegated, and manager Harry Redknapp was delighted to have secured the deal.  

"He's always been a player I've admired," the Hoops boss told the club's official website.

"I've watched him on so many occasions throughout the last few years. I actually spent three or four hours with him last year so he knew what I thought of him, and I think that was important.

"He's quick, can score goals and makes great runs. His movement is excellent. He's got the potential to be a really outstanding striker."

Remy, who has scored four goals for France, is relishing the chance to test himself in the Premier League.

"I want to develop my game here," said the 26-year-old.

"This season the objective is to stay up but beyond that we have greater objectives.

"After seven years in France, this is the right time for me to pursue a new challenge in the Premier League – the best League in the world.

"I am confident I can adapt to the Premier League. My main characteristics have taken me to the level I am at today but I am keen to keep improving in the Premier League."

Rangers are 11.00 to defeat West Ham 1-0 on Saturday, with a 2-2 draw available at 15.00.
