The 26-year-old is set to have a medical at St James' Park on Monday.
Age 26 France caps: 18 Goals: 4 Games for Marseille 99 Goals: 36 French league titles: 1 Games for QPR: 13 Goals: 6 Total transfer fees £27.5m The France international was linked with a move to the Magpies last January but opted to join Rangers for a club-record fee of £8m.He scored six times for Harry Redknapp's side last season but his goals could not save them from Premier League relegation.
Newcastle are also hopeful of completing a deal this week to sign Remy's compatriot Bafetimbi Gomis after agreeing an £8m fee with Lyon.
Remy made a superb start to his QPR career with a goal against West Ham on his debut, but then suffered a groin injury at the start of February that kept him out for a month.
He scored in successive victories soon after his return, against Southampton and Sunderland, but the Hoops did not win another game and eventually finished bottom of the Premier League.
Remy is set to be Newcastle's first major signing of the summer and his arrival will boost their options in attack, with Papiss Cisse and Shola Ameobi the only senior forwards at the club.
