Former QPR boss Harry Redknapp has revealed Arsenal made an attempt for Chelsea striker Loic Remy.
Redknapp says Remy chose to join Chelsea over Arsenal last summer.
The former QPR boss told the Daily Telegraph: "I got a phone call on the Saturday before the transfer window shut saying that he had done a deal with Chelsea. Arsenal were in for him as well, we had Arsenal and Chelsea trying to sign him and he chose Chelsea.
"I was surprised he went to Chelsea, I thought he'd go to Arsenal. I could see Arsenal, but I couldn't really see Chelsea because I thought "he's not going to play there."
