Loic Remy – Chelsea

Garde will be looking to bring in a number of players to try to remain in the Premier League, and he has already showing early interest in signing Chelsea forward Loic Remy, according to The Guardian.

The forward has been out of favour at struggling Chelsea this term, making just one start in the Premier League, and has been linked with Villa for a loan deal until the end of the season.

The duo know each other well as Remy started his playing career at Lyon during the same period that Garde was assistant manager.

Remy has scored 28 goals in 69 appearances in the Premier League and will be looking to extend this record if a move to Villa materialises. Having only found the back of the net 16 times this season it is clear that the Villains need more impetus up front.

Despite Aston Villa’s interest in Loic Remy, Guus Hiddink, Chelsea’s current manager, has said that he does not plan to sell any of his players in January. If Villa are unable to secure the loan move of Remy they will need to look elsewhere for an attacking player.
