Loic Remy joins Chelsea on Four-Year Deal
Chelsea have signed the QPR striker Loic Remy on a four-year deal.
The blues triggered the £10.5m release clause in Remy’s contract on Saturday after the transfer of Fernando Torres to AC Milan, causing Remy to be left out of the QPR squad that played against Sunderland.
After his transfer, Remy said: “I feel very happy and very proud. When I heard Chelsea wanted to sign me I said ‘let’s go’ straight away because they are one of the best clubs in the world. I remember the amazing atmosphere at Stamford Bridge when I played there for Marseille and I can’t wait to play for the first time in front of my new fans.”
Rémy joined QPR from Marseille in January 2013, scoring six goals in 14 games, as the Rangers were relegated from the Premier League. He spent the 2013/14 campaign on loan at Newcastle United, where he scored 14 goals.
He was expected to move to Liverpool earlier this summer but failed the medical.
