Should West Brom or West Ham consider a move for Chelsea striker Loic Remy?

Both West Bromwich Albion and West Ham United are thought to be looking to sign at least one striker this summer, with things a little thin for both sides upfront.
Currently the Baggies only have Salomon Rondon and Hal Robson-Kanu as options, while West Ham often played Michail Antonio in the position due to injuries to Andy Carroll and Diafra Sakho.
There have been some high profile transfers linked with both sides, but could they benefit from going slightly under the radar for an attacker who is proven in the Premier League?
That man is Loic Remy – someone who has become slightly forgotten at current club Chelsea after barely playing for the past two seasons.
Chelsea’s Loic Remy
A lack of game time may not seem like the ideal foundation for a signing, especially after Remy managed just eight appearances while on loan at Crystal Palace in 2016/17 due to injury.
However, 28 goals in 79 games in the English top flight from decent spells with the Blues, QPR and a particularly prolific one at Newcastle United, shows that the 30-year-old can compete at the level.
Not only that but his running in behind and ability to play on the shoulder of the last defender is a completely contrasting style to what both West Brom and the Hammers currently have at their disposal.
