Queens Park Rangers have stolen a march on Newcastle United in the race to sign Marseille and France striker Loic Remy in the January transfer window, as QPR manager Harry Redknapp was in the Director’s Box for today’s French Cup match with Guingamp.

Both teams are in the midst of a Premier League relegation battle this season, and while Newcastle may have the points’ advantage now, Remy could help give QPR a boost until the end of the season.
