Everton and Southampton are keen on Chelsea striker Loic Remy.
According to Sky Sports, Chelsea striker Loic Remy is expected to leave the club this summer, with both Everton and Southampton interested.
Remy, 30, joined Chelsea back in the summer of 2014 having impressed on loan with Newcastle United, but he has struggled for playing time at Stamford Bridge, scoring 12 goals in 47 games for the Blues.
Chelsea’s Loic Remy
Last season, the French striker joined Crystal Palace on loan last summer, but made just one Premier League start in an injury-hit season before returning to Chelsea.
Now, Sky Sports report that Remy is now expected to leave Chelsea this summer, despite speculation surrounding the future of star striker Diego Costa.
It’s added that two Premier League clubs are interested in signing Remy – Everton and Southampton – whilst his former club Marseille are also keen to bring him back to the Stade Velodrome.
The report also notes that whilst Remy wants to stay with Chelsea, he realises that his first-team chances under Antonio Conte will be slim, and a move could be on the cards this summer.

Everton recently sold striker Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United and subsequently need to replace the Belgian striker, with Remy a possible option for Ronald Koeman – though he wouldn’t exactly be the big-name replacement fans are looking for.
Meanwhile, Southampton do have the likes of Manolo Gabbiadini, Charlie Austin and Shane Long at Mauricio Pellegrino’s disposal, but another striker could be targeted given questions over Long’s future, and Remy could emerge as a prime target for the Saints as he looks to get his career back on track.
