Arsenal decide against Remy - Three possible alternatives

The Gunners look unlikely to sign Loic Remy after the French striker reportedly agreed a move to Liverpool last night.

Three possible alternatives are : 
Mario Balotelli 
The former Manchester City man has been continually linked with a move to Arsenal, with the 23-year-old tipped to leave AC Milan this summer. 
Fresh reports this morning suggest Arsenal have agreed a fee of £15.8m for the Italian with personal terms agreed also, but this seems unlikely given the snag which hindered The Gunners' original pursuit of Loic Remy. 
Not only is the reported deal almost double the fee Arsenal would have paid for Remy, Balotelli's wage demands are also almost certain to surpass the £80,000-per-week mark. 
After completing a £35m deal for Alexis Sanchez just over a week ago, another high profile signing such as Balotelli would be surprising, but don't rule it out with competition for a top four finish in the Premier League looking stronger than ever. /hereisthecity
