Rafa Benitez could help secure Premier League safety and avoid a relegation dogfight at Newcastle with the signing of Chelsea’s forgotten man Loic Remy this summer.
The Sun claim Antonio Conte’s side are willing to offload the 30-year-old forward on the cheap in order to help the France international reignite his stuttering career, after suffering from a number of injuries.
Remy, who played for Newcastle during the 2013-14 season on loan from QPR, made just eight appearances this season during a season-long stay at Chelsea’s London rivals Crystal Palace.
The Blues are now ready to help their £80,000-a-week striker rejuvenate his career by finding him a new permanent home, with the report claiming Ligue 1 giants Marseille could potentially become interested.
This Is Futbol considers three reasons why Newcastle must bring Remy back to St. James’ Park to help him rediscover his goalscoring touch and fire the Toon to safety during the 2017-18 campaign.
