Former Liverpool captain Jamie Redknapp believes that Loic Remy would be better suited to Arsenal over Chelsea.
The Queens Park Rangers striker is reportedly attracting the attention of both London clubs with the September 1 transfer deadline drawing closer, and Redknapp thinks that the France international would get more games at the Gunners.
He told Sky Sports News: "When you look at the market, I think that is a great deal, it's a bargain.
"He's got two of the biggest clubs in the country vying for him, and it's up to him, but if he goes to Chelsea, is he going to take Diego Costa's place? I don't think so.
"At Arsenal, I think he might end up starting three or four months of the season now with Olivier Giroud's injury. At Chelsea, it's a closed door to a certain extent, it looks like [he'll only play] FA Cup, League Cup and that might be the only competition he gets really."
Remy almost moved to Liverpool earlier this summer, but the Reds cancelled the deal at the 11th hour due to his medical results.
