Arsenal to make official bid for Loic Remy

Despite Arsene Wenger refuting talk of a move for Queens Park Rangers' forward Loic Remy, eyefootball understands that Arsenal are to make an official bid for the talented French forward.

Many Gunners fans criticised Arsene Wenger's lack of a forward signing last season, but after the departure of Nicklas Bendtner and Park Chu-Young, Arsenal are to make the signing of a new forward their top priority.

Arsenal have been tracking Remy for several months and Wenger was impressed with the Frenchman's performances at Newcastle during a loan spell last season.

The North London club are set to make a bid of around £15 million to wrap up a deal for Remy.
