Chelsea have signed the QPR striker Loïc Rémy on a four-year deal. Chelsea triggered a £10.5 million release clause in his contract on Saturday lunchtime and he was subsequently left out of their squad to face Sunderland.
“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,” said Rémy. “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.”
There were reports that Arsenal were also interested in signing the striker but decided not to pursue the deal any further.
