QPR could well be one of the clubs relegated from the Premier League this season, as the London club find themselves seven points adrift of safety with only eight matches remaining in the season. Despite the arrivals of stars like Loic Remy and Christopher Samba, the club could be staring down the barrel in a few months time. According to the Daily Star, Arsenal are looking to take advantage of the relegation by keeping tabs on Remy and Samba. These two players were persuaded to join the West London outfit with some serious money.
They are believed to be receiving around £100,000 per week in wages, which is an unsustainable amount of money even in the Premier League for a club like QPR. As a result, they could be forced into selling their January signings if they are relegated.
Arsenal are likely to be in the market for a striker and a defender. Incidentally, both Remy and Samba have been on the eyes of Arsenal for a while now. However, they have been unable to take the plunge and sign them.
Wenger, though, will be interested in the possibility of persuading Remy especially after having seen the striker adapt well to English football. He has already scored three goals for QPR in just five matches.
Samba has been an Arsenal target even when he was a Blackburn player. Little has changed since then, as the defender has been able to shore up the QPR defence immediately upon his arrival. QPR had conceded around two goals per game prior to Samba's arrival, but they have been conceding just one goal game since his arrival.
Remy is thought to have inserted a £6 million relegation release clause in his contract. Samba could be available for around £12 million – the fee paid by Rangers to the Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala.
