Chelsea
striker Loic Remy is still hoping to secure a loan move away from Stamford
Bridge before the transfer deadline, according to Sky sources.
It is understood the 29-year-old Frenchman remains frustrated at not getting
more playing time under both Jose Mourinho and his successor; current
interim head coach Guus Huddink.
English newspapers have reported that Crystal Palace and former club
Newcastle are interested in taking Remy on loan, as well as title
challengers Leicester.
But Sky sources understand the Foxes, who have allowed striker Andrej
Kramaric to join Hoffenheim until the end of the season because of a clutch
of forward options, are not interested in taking Remy.
Remy has struggled to break into Chelsea's first team since his £8.5m move
in 2014 and has made just one Premier League start all season.
Earlier this month, however, Hiddink insisted he would not be allowed to
leave the club in the winter window and was needed to help the struggling
Blues rise up the Premier League table.
He said: "He will stay until the end of the season. I have seen little of
him because he repeatedly fell into injury.
"I am curious. I hope Remy picks it up. I hope he will deliver if he is
needed."
