The 29-year-old forward joined the Blues from Queens Park Rangers in 2014 but has struggled to make an impact at the Stamford Bridge, featuring ten times for the west Londoners in the Premier League this season, as most of them coming as a substitute.

Meanwhile the number of English clubs with the likes of Newcastle United, Crystal Palace and Manchester City had also been interested in Remy’s services, who scored 12 goals in 42 appearances for the defending champions since his arrival.
