Arsenal plan shock £18M double raid for QPR's Remy, Samba

Arsenal are planning a shock double raid on QPR. The Daily Star Sunday says Arsenal are plotting an ­£18million double swoop for Chris Samba and Loic Remy - if Queens Park Rangers go down.

Congolese defender Samba and France striker Remy have proved instant successes at Loftus Road following big-money arrivals in January from Anzhi Makhachkala and Marseille, ­respectively.

Remy, 26, scored three times in his first five starts to breathe new life into the seemingly desperate survival scrap of Harry Redknapp's basement boys.

And ex-Blackburn Rovers star Samba has been equally impressive at the back, helping shore up one of the top-flight's weakest ­defences.

 Has the penny dropped for Arsenal? Would this be money well spent? Give us your shout below...
