Chelsea Football Club is
delighted to announce the
signing of Loic Remy from
Queens Park Rangers.
The France international striker has
signed a four-year contract.
The 27-year-old played in the Premier
League for Newcastle last season while
on loan from QPR. He returned to
Loftus Road in the summer.
On signing for the Blues, he 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.'
Remy, who is 6ft tall, is renowned for
his pace, eye for goal and a versatility
which has also allowed him to succeed
in wide positions.
He is one of an illustrious list of
players to have come through Lyon’s
youth academy. He made his first-
team debut for his home-town club in
2006 and played for them during two
Ligue 1 title-winning seasons, as well
as experiencing the Champions League.
However, it was at Nice, following a
loan spell at Lens, where the young
Remy truly began to build his
reputation.
The goals flowed fast, earning a move
along the south coast to Marseille,
signed by former Chelsea player and
current France manager Didier
Deschamps in August 2010. He scored
his first Champions League goals
during his opening season for Marseille
and played in two group games against
Chelsea. He was their top league
scorer with 15 goals in 2010/11 as well
as finding the net for the first time
for France that season, having made
his international debut in June 2009.
With Remy having averaged almost a
goal every two games during two and
a half years at Marseille, the Premier
League came calling in January 2013
and he scored on his QPR debut at
West Ham. Of his six goals in 14 games
before the end of that campaign, it
was a first-time smash from outside
the area against Wigan that most
caught the eye. However with Rangers
relegated from the top flight, he was
loaned for 2013/14 to Newcastle.
A goal against Chelsea at St James’
Park in November was one of 14 he
scored in the Premier League last
season, helping to earn a place in
France’s squad for Brazil in the
summer, where he made two substitute
appearances.
He played in QPR’s first two league
games this season but not in their
Capital One Cup defeat by Burton
Albion, so remains eligible to play for
Chelsea in all competitions.Chelsea Football Club is
