Chelsea to swap Remy for Vardy?

The signing of Alexandre Pato on loan by Chelsea has clearly paved the way for the move of Loic Remy out of the club. The French International who was quite instrumental in the title win of Chelsea in the last campaign has struggled for minutes under both Hiddink and Mourinho this season.

Chelsea are planning to use Loic Remy as a makeweight to sign Jamie Vardy.

It was reported that Remy very much interested his former employer Newcastle United. However, there are reports currently stating that Leicester City want to sign the former QPR striker in order to provide a much needed boost to their Premier league title challenge.

However, it seems that Chelsea will sell the striker to City only if they get Vardy in return. The current deal offered for Remy was around £7.5 million. But it seems highly unlikely that Leicester would sell their star forward in this campaign in order to land Remy.

Leicester have been in outstanding form this season. If not the title, they are certainly serious contenders for the Champions league spot. Ranieri will certainly try to keep his main players in this transfer window but he also realizes that Leicester may have a thin squad compared to the teams in the top half of the table.

However, he can hope the signing of Pato may have unsettled Remy and it will force Chelsea to offload their striker.
