Arsenal Launch £13m Bid For French Forward Loic Remy


Loic Remy Arsenal
Emirates Stadium side keen to beat White Hart Lane rivals to striker signing.

Arsenal are reportedly considering making a £13m bid for Marseille striker Loic Remy as Arsene Wenger looks to bring in further firepower having seen his side draw a blank in their first two Premier League encounters.

The Marseille forward has long been linked with a move to the North London side and Tottenham are said to be in talks to snap up the 25 year old French international.
Remy may well be sold by the Stade Velodrome side as Marseille look to balance the books. The former Nice striker has had two solid seasons at the club, netting 37 goals in the process, but watched on as they slipped to a poor tenth place finish last term.

Though Arsenal have brought in Olivier Giroud and Lukas Podolski from Montpellier and Koln respectively, Arsene Wenger may well still feel the need to beef up his attacking options after goalless draws against Sunderland and Stoke City. Indeed the sale of Robin Van Persie and the lack of viable support options have led the Gunners boss to plot another high-profile move before the transfer window slams shut.

The likes of Marouane Chamakh, Nicklas Bendtner and Park Chu-Young have all failed to make an impact and could all be sold before the end of the month, whilst the jury is still out on Ivory Coast international Gervinho, who appears more competent in a wide attacking role.

Remy may well be tempted by a move to the Premier League and could opt for a move to Arsenal over a Tottenham switch due to the chance to take part in Champions League football this season.
The consistent forward could also be enticed by the possibility of joining national team colleagues Laurent Koscielny, Bacary Sagna, Abou Diaby, Sebastien Squillaci and the aforementioned Olivier Giroud.
Though Wenger has spent around £35m to bring in Giroud, Podolski and Santi Cazorla that outlay has been more than covered by the sales of Van Persie and Alex Song and therefore the Emirates Stadium boss will have the funds to bring in much needed firepower to his Arsenal squad.

Arsenal anchorman Matteo Guendouzi has made a switch to Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin on season-long loan deal. The 21-year-old Frenchman hasn’t played for Mikel Arteta’s side since a 2-1 loss to Brighton in June, during which he was involved in a fracas with Neal Maupay. The Frenchman has joined the Gunners from Ligue 1 outfits Lorient back in 2018, having started his career in the academy of PSG. He has played 82 games for the North London club, however, has not been in the matchday squad this campaign. He featured regularly under head-coach Unai Emery in his debut campaign back in 2018-19, playing in 33 of the Gunners 38 Premier League games.

In the game at Brighton – the Gunners second following the post-lockdown restart – he had to be pulled away from Maupay during a confrontation between both sets of play

Why Debuchy is perfect replacement for Sagna at Arsenal

Full-back's departure was a blow but the Newcastle star's experience, defensive qualities, aerial ability and winning mentality mark him out as a worthy successor ANALYSIS By Liam Twomey In previous years, the departure of a club stalwart might have sparked talk of crisis at Arsenal . But Arsene Wenger has acted quickly in the wake of Bacary Sagna 's defection to Manchester City , with Newcastle right-back Mathieu Debuchy set to be unveiled as a Gunner before the end of the week in a deal worth an initial £8 million . Setback though it was, the protracted nature of Sagna's departure from the Emirates Stadium afforded Wenger ample time to plan for a future without him. Sebastian Jung of Eintracht Frankfurt became a target as far back as January , while talks with Toulouse over Serge Aurier reached a very advanced stage . But as Debuchy makes his final preparations for life in north London, Wenger can be confident that he has secured a very profic
