Loic Remy has announced that it was a game of FIFA 12 with the Queens Park Rangers chairman Tony Fernandes that sealed the deal.
After manager Harry Redknapp clinched the Frenchman for a record fee, the 26 year old agreed to a four-and-a-half year deal with the club.
Talking to the club’s official website, the striker said that a four-hour discussion with the chairman concerning his future ended up in a game of FIFA 12, which settled his decision to move to Loftus Road.
“It was a special moment that followed our chat about QPR,” Remy said.
“We just played a game of FIFA – it was good and showed to me what a good person Tony is.
“He showed his human side to me as an owner of the club I wanted to join. It was a special moment for us both.”
Rangers CEO Philip Beard added: “They had great fun, but Tony told me he let him win!
“But in all seriousness, it was a great way for them to get to know each other better.
“Loic was Harry’s number one target and we’re delighted we’ve been able to pull this deal off.
“There was a lot of interest in him from other clubs, because he is one of the hottest properties in Europe, so the fact we’ve managed to sign him is incredible.”
