Palace sign Chelsea striker

 

Crystal Palace have announced they have signed Chelsea striker Loic Remy on a season-long loan deal.

 

Remy, 29, has been heavily linked with a move away from Chelsea this summer after failing to establish himself as a first team player during his two years at the club.

 

West Ham were one of the clubs reportedly linked with the former France international but Palace have won the race to prize the forward away from Stamford Bridge.

 

“This is a very good chance for me and a big opportunity. It was very important to know Alan Pardew as he is a very good manager and I am happy to be here,” Remy told Palace’s official website.
