Chelsea agree loan deal to offload attacker to Crystal Palace: £10.3m buy-out - reports

LOIC REMY’S Chelsea career appears over after Crystal Palace reportedly agreed a deal to sign the striker.

Alan Pardew’s side will apparently take the Frenchman on a season-long loan with a purchase option of £10.3million, according to French outlet Le 10 Sport.

And the switch comes with Remy not part of Antonio Conte’s future plans at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea have already signed Michy Batshuayi this summer from Marseille for £33.2m to bolster their attack

Conte is also looking for more firepower, having failed to land former Blues hitman Romelu Lukaku, with Mario Mandzukic said to be on their radar.

Remy’s move to Selhurst Park took longer than expected due to Palace’s pursuit of Christian Benteke.

But once Pardew secured the former Liverpool goalscorer for a club-record £32m, their attention turned to landing Remy.

The ex-Newcastle and Marseille man will become Palace’s third France international alongside Yohan Cabaye and Steve Mandanda.

And the 29-year-old can certainly expect more game time with the Eagles, having seen his career dip at Stamford Bridge.
