Arsenal & Tottenham Hotspur striker target set for showdown talks - GiveMeFootball.com

QPR manager Harry Redknapp is hoping to keep Loic Remy at the club this summer, despite attention from both Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur. The French global forward has scored five goals in twenty games for the Hoops this period, having arrived in west London from Marseille for A8million in the January exchange screen. Redknapp thinks the 26-year-old could score 20 goals in the full Premier League time if given the chance, but realises QPR mightn't be the team to enjoy such benefits. And, the former Spurs employer admits series talks are about the corner, with a relegation growing large at Loftus Road. "He is a person I think could score 20 targets in the Premier League in a complete year. Heas our primary goalscorer and heas just played a handful of activities. Wead prefer to hold him but weall need certainly to sit back and see what his plans are," said Redknapp, according to talkSPORT. The radio station promises equally the Gunners and Tottenham Hotspur have been associated with a for Remy in the past, and that the player will not wish to drop down seriously to the Championship - probably opening the entranceway for a summer move. Arsenal are relatively lacking attacking alternatives at the Emirates Stadium, with Olivier Giroud the only out-an-out striker open to Arsene Wenger. And, as this week has proved, an injury or suspension to the Frenchman leaves the Gunners lacking alternatives, with either Theo Walcott, Lukas Podolski or Gervinho more likely to fill in up-front against Manchester United on Sunday. Spurs also have limited possibilities in assault, with Jermain Defoe and Emmanuel Adebayor the main options available to Andre Villas-Boas. Remy would likely add an extra dimension to the strike at White Hart Lane, but Tottenham Hotspur will know from previous experiences that signing this player is any such thing but easy.
