Newcastle will give West Brom until the weekend to relax their stance on Saido Berahino - and will move for Loic Remy if they continue refusing to sell.

The 22-year-old is the Magpies top striker target during this transfer window, but they fear they could miss out on other targets if they leave it too late waiting.

West Brom continue to insist they have no intention of selling Berahino this month.

Spurs, however, are preparing to test that stance before the transfer deadline.

Failing a U-turn from West Brom and a Remy, 29, wants out of Chelsea in search of regular first-team football as he fears he will miss out on Euro2016 with France.

He has already told friends he expects to leave this month.

He is still loved up at St James’s Park after a successful season on loan and could reignite his flagging career with a productive spell there.

Alexandre Pato is set to complete his move to Chelsea on loan, but the Blues still need another new forward if Remy leaves.
