Gunners chase the ‘New Henry’

Arsenal are hot on the heels of a player being dubbed the new ‘Thierry Henry’. According to reports, Arsene Wenger is ready to fork out £14m for young France striker Loic Remy. Remy, who plays for Nice in France, is a close friend of Gunners stars Abou Diaby and Bacary Sagna. "Arsenal are interested in Loic for next season," revealed his agent Frederic Guerra on Thursday. The North Londoners face competition from French giants Lyon for the 23-year-old’s services. Remy actually played for Lyon earlier in his career but was sold for £7m in 2008.
