Swansea City have joined the race to sign Chelsea striker Loic Remy on loan during the January transfer window.

According to the Mirror, the Welsh club have submitted a bid to sign the striker on loan, with a £1m loan fee. As well as the fee, Swansea have also offered to cover the striker’s wages in full.

Remy has struggled for any consistent minutes ever since joining Chelsea last season. This season he has rarely featured behind Diego Costa.

Although, Swansea do face competition to sign the striker, with Crystal Palace and Newcastle all thought to be interested in signing him too.

The Swans are currently managerless after the sacking of Garry Monk but look close to appointing Argentinian manager, Marcelo Bielsa. Remy could well be his first signing in Wales.

However, Remy may fancy his chances during the second half of the season with Chelsea set to appoint Guus Hiddink until the end of the season. The striker scored his first league goal after coming off the bench in Chelsea’s latest league defeat against Leicester City.
