Crystal Palace transfer news: Loic Remy wants Palace move as Antonio Conte cant guarantee game time
Crystal Palace may finally be close to signing a striker after Loic Remy angles for move to Selhurst
LOIC REMY wants to move to Crystal Palace and stay in London as he does not appear to be in the plans of Antonio Conte.
Alan Pardew hopes to be reunited with his former striker whom he worked with at old club Newcastle as the Eagles are desperate for some more firepower.
According to french newspaper the striker would prefer to stay in London and in the Premier League.
There were rumours of possible interest from Lyon but those were quashed when the clubs manager gave a press conference after his sides opening 3-0 Ligue 1 win over Nancy.
Bruno Genesio said, ' I am not aware of this I don't not know if this is brainwashing'.
Lyon however are trying to keep hold of their star striker Alexandre Lacazette who is a target for Arsenal with the Gunners desperate for a striker themselves.
However the Lyon manager appearing to distance himself with a move for Remy is good news for Palace.
The club have had failed bids for Michy Batshuayi and Christain Benteke this summer and with Yannick Bolasie being sold to Everton along with the departure of Dwight Gayle to Newcastle they are thin in attacking areas.
