Loic Remy has reportedly held talks with Arsenal and Liverpool over a transfer this summer.
The Queens Park Rangers striker, 27, impressed on loan at Newcastle United last season, scoring 14 goals in the Premier League for Alan Pardew's side.
According to the Daily Mail, a source close to the Frenchman has revealed that he has already started discussions with Arsenal and Liverpool.
Remy, who signed for QPR from Marseilles for £8m in January 2013, has been a long-term target for the Gunners, and was recently spotted at the Emirates Stadium watching the club's final home game of the season against West Bromwich Albion, which they won 1-0.

Transfer analysis: The players set for major moves this summer Toni Kroos One player who's been creating transfer rumours for a while is Toni Kroos. The German has been linked with a move to Manchester United as his contract talks with Bayern Munich stall. Whether Kroos is simply exploiting United's need for midfield improvements simply to improve his Bayern contract remains to be seen. His superb goals against Arsenal at the Emirates the last two years running highlight just what a talent the Germany international is.

A recent injury that saw him miss the end of the season and the World Cup could change things, with the Spaniard potentially choosing to stay until his recuperation is over.

Transfer analysis: The players set for major moves this summer Paul Pogba Juventus are set to offer Paul Pogba a new contract according to some reports, however his £40m buyout clause must be tempting to some, former club Manchester United included. Comes with something of a reputation however, so would be a gamble.

Transfer analysis: The players set for major moves this summer Fabio Coentrao The Portuguese left back nearly joined Manchester United in January and with the Premier League bracing itself for a flurry of activity in that particular position, Coentrao could be one man in line for a move. Particularly as he has struggled for appearances at Real Madrid this term.

For one reason or another, Super Mario is one man constantly in the transfer spotlight with a potential reuniting with former boss Jose Mourinho at Chelsea being mooted by some while other reports suggesting he has been offered to Arsenal for £30m.

Transfer analysis: The players set for major moves this summer Sergio Aguero It seems unlikely that Aguero is likely to quit Manchester City but following his continuing excellence at the club, the Argentine forward reportedly remains a target for Real Madrid who might be the one club capable of luring him away from the Etihad. Them and Barcelona, who his father says would be difficult for Aguero to turn down.

Transfer analysis: The players set for major moves this summer Iker Casillas Synonymous with Real Madrid for so long, Casillas fell out of favour with first Jose Mourinho and now Carlo Ancelotti and a summer move seems likely. Where the Spanish captain will go is less clear. Barcelona will be in need of a new keeper, but surely that move won't happen? Arsenal are another club reportedly interested in finding a new number one.

Many blame the manager but few could complain if the Japanese star was keen to move on this summer. A return to Dortmund is a possibility.

Transfer analysis: The players set for major moves this summer Luis Suarez Liverpool's Suarez-inspired league form and subsequent Champions League qualification may help keep the Uruguayan on Merseyside, however rumours of a move to a bigger club will still persist this summer. Particularly when it seems whenever the striker returns to his native Uruguay he forgets about his affection for the Reds. An impressive World Cup, if he recovers from an injury in time, will only fuel speculation.

Transfer analysis: The players set for major moves this summer Jackson Martinez Porto's Colombian striker is seemingly always mentioned in transfer gossip pages and this summer looks set to be no different.

Transfer analysis: The players set for major moves this summer Yann M'Vila The France international has for so long been linked with a move to the Premier League that it's almost as if he's here already.

Transfer analysis: The players set for major moves this summer Fernando Torres They might have paid £50m for him, but Torres' days at Chelsea look numbered. Jose Mourinho has done anything but offer a ringing endorsement for the Spaniard and with the Blues linked with just about every striker going, Torres should move on. Despite his problems in front of goal, there won't be a shortage of suitors. Inter Milan have been linked as have his former club Atletico Madrid.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger joked after the match when he learnt of Remy's appearance: "Honestly, I've just been informed that Loic Remy was here and I didn't know," Wenger told reporters.
"So don't see any sign of us signing Remy [from that]. I hope he paid for his ticket!"
