They've got their finger on the trigger and according to the Daily Mail it's French striker Loic Remy who is in Arsenal's sights. The Gunners are said to be confident that they'll sign the Queens Park Rangers frontman as soon as they "trigger the £8 million clause" in Remy's contract.

Currently at the World Cup with Les Bleus as they prepare for their quarter-final clash with Germany, Remy was loaned to Newcastle last season, scoring 14 goals in 24 games, and the Mail says Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger intends to snap up Remy as well as one other striker in the summer – either AC Milan hitman Mario Balotelli or Real Madrid hotshot's Morata.
