Chelsea striker Loic Remy appears to be close to sealing a deal to join fellow Londoners Crystal Palace, according to the Daily Express.
The report comes after bookmakers Ladbrokes halved Remy’s odds from joining Alan Pardew’s side from 6/1 to 3/1 following a flurry of bets.
The French international has been continually linked to leaving the Blues with Newcastle, Aston Villa, Swansea and Palace all rumoured to be monitoring his situation.
The London destination, as well as the chance to work under former Newcastle boss Alan Pardew, could be key motivating factors for the move as the Eagles look for a proven forward to boost a side that has struggled to score goals this season.
A Ladbrokes spokesperson said:
Money is pouring in for Remy to make the short move to Palace at the expense of Newcastle. Swansea, Sunderland and Southampton all also look to be out of the running when it comes to a loan deal.
With a lack of game time and the fine form of Diego Costa, Loic Remy’s Chelsea days seem to be numbered.
A spout of injury issues have limited the French international’s playing time under Guus Hiddink and with Euro 2016 in the summer, it looks likely the 29-year-old will move out of the club to make way for the incoming Alexandre Pato.
