Arsenal to trigger Loic Remy's £8million transfer release clause this summer

Loic who it is! Remy is on Arsenal's radar

Arsene Wenger will use an £8million clause in Loic Remy’s contract to gazump Newcastle United for the forward’s signature this summer, writes Neil Moxley of the Sunday People .

The France international has a get-out in his agreement that allows him to quit QPR for that figure and the Arsenal boss is poised to pounce.

Remy has spent this season on loan with the Tynesiders, jumping ship after the west London team was relegated last term.

And Wenger will snatch the forward from under the Geordies’ noses for the cut-price fee by using the lure of Champions League football.

Remy’s 13 goals this season have played a major part in pushing Alan Pardew’s men up the Premier League table.

And there are growing signs that Lukas Podolski will not be the answer for Arsenal on a long-term basis and Wenger needs extra firepower.

Rangers, who posted £65.4m losses this week, will have little say in the matter once the clause has been activated.
