Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, Southampton and Swansea chase France international forward

Crystal Palace are reportedly the latest potential suitors to register an interest in signing France international striker Loic Remy.

The Premier League outfit, who are level on points with fourth-placed Tottenham in the current standings after defeating Stoke City 2-1 last weekend, are understood to have joined Aston Villa, Southampton and Swansea City in the hunt for the out-of-favour forward.

The 28-year-old, who has 31 international caps for his country, has scored one league goal in eight league appearances for the Blues so far this season.

Remy; who cost Chelsea around £10.5m from Queens Park Rangers last August, is more likely to seal a loan move away from Stamford Bridge initially after the arrival of interim boss Guus Hiddink following Jose Mourinho’s dismissal last week.
