Arsenal are closing in on a deal for QPR striker Loic Remy. The French International spent the whole of last season on loan at Newcastle United and is now set to depart Loftus Road this summer. Arsenal have been keen on signing the 27-year-old for some time now, and his £8 million pound buy-out clause in his contract has sparked even further interest from Arsene Wenger.
Remy netted 14 goals last term and would be a good bolster in The Gunner’s frontline. According to recent reports, QPR and Arsenal have nearly come to an agreement regarding Remy’s transfer to The Emirates, but it is understood that the Frenchman is yet to agree terms with the North London side.
Meanwhile, it is believed that The Gunners are coming close to completing a deal for Barcelona starlet Alexis Sanchez, which would take a large £30 chunk out of North London side’s transfer budget.
