# Chelsea forward priority for Remi Garde

Aston Villa boss Remi Garde has made Chelsea striker, Loic Remy his top priority as he searches for a goal scorer to lead Villa out of the Premier League relegation zone.

[Get French Football News](https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2015/aston-villa-pushing-hard-for-loic-remy/) , who broke stories such as Villa’s move for Idrissa Gueye, suggest that Remy is keen to leave Chelsea in the hope of pushing for a space in France’s Euro 2016 squad and Villa could be an option for the forward.

Remi Garde had previously worked with Remy as a youngster at Lyon making it more of a possibility that Villa could be his new home.

The site also reports how Southampton and Swansea City have already made contact over the former-Newcastle striker who has found the net once in seven appearances so far this campaign.

### Hope – Matt Lynch

A move for Loic Remy is exciting. He blitzed in goals for QPR and Newcastle, but he hasn’t found first team football easy going at Chelsea. A move to Villa Park would be perfect for his Euro chances and Villa’s survival hopes.
