Aston Villa boss keen on Remy loan

Aston Villa manager Remi Garde is keen on landing a temporary deal for out-of-favour Chelsea striker Loic Remy.

The France international joined the Blues form Queens Park Rangers last year, and has since then played a bit-part role in the first-team.

According to The Mirror, Villa boss Garde will make a desperate attempt to lure the former Newcastle man to Villa Park next month.

However, the Blues may keep hold of Remy as they lack sufficient firepower in the striking department.

The 28-year-old has made just four starts for his club in all competitions this season.
