Harry Redknapp has warned Newcastle that Loic Remy’s price is rising all the time as they dither about signing him on a permanent basis.

The QPR manager has also told the Toon Army that they risk missing out on him altogether, with Arsenal also interested in the 27-year-old Frenchman, who cost £8million when he was captured from Marseille a year ago.

Remy scored six times in 13 Premier League appearances but was unable to save the Hoops from relegation straight back to the Championship.

He was sent to Tyneside on loan for the season in August and has already netted ten goals for the Magpies, who wanted to sign him at the start of 2013.

Redknapp estimates that Remy’s transfer fee has doubled in value and is surprised Newcastle have not given him a ring to make a concrete offer.

‘I don’t know what the deal is,’ he said. ‘You would think they would want to snap him up wouldn’t you? If they don’t then someone else will.

‘For what we got him for, he’s probably worth double that now. He’s scored goals in the Premier League again this year.’

Redknapp’s comments are also a clear indication that QPR are ready to sell Remy and will not take him back in the summer if they gain promotion to the top flight.

The player has dropped a hint he may only stay at Newcastle if they finish in the top four as he yearns to feature in the Champions League once again.
