5. Loic Remy
Chelsea were plotting a transfer deadline day swoop for Marseille striker Loic Remy last August and came close to signing the French international for £15 million as cover for Fernando Torres and Daniel Sturridge.* The deal collapsed when Chelsea failed to offload the latter to Liverpool, though he has since moved to Merseyside.** Since then, the player has been
hotly tipped to sign for Newcastle United, and the market for the striker has become crowded with West Ham and QPR also interested. Also, Chelsea don't need another striker - they have just signed Demba Ba. Source(s): *
