French striker Loic Remy leaves Loftus Road for Stamford Bridge ...
STRIKER Loic Remy has joined Chelsea, signing a four-year deal at Stamford Bridge.
The French international has put pen to paper on a deal until the summer of 2018, after the Blues activated a release clause in the 27 year-old’s contract.
Remy joined QPR from Marseille in January 2013, scoring six goals in 14 games, as Rangers were relegated from the Premier League.
He spent the 2013/14 campaign on loan at Newcastle United, where he scored 14 goals.
The club would like to thank Loic for his contribution during his time at QPR.

Chelsea have signed the QPR striker Loïc Rémy on a four-year deal. Chelsea triggered a £10.5m release clause in his contract on Saturday lunchtime and he was subsequently left out of their squad to face Sunderland.
“I feel very happy and very proud. When I heard Chelsea wanted to sign me I said ‘let’s go’ straight away because they are one of the best clubs in the world,” said Rémy. “I remember the amazing atmosphere at Stamford Bridge when I played there for Marseille and I can’t wait to play for the first time in front of my new fans.”
There were reports that Arsenal were also interested in signing the striker but decided not to pursue the deal any further.
Rémy joined QPR from Marseille in January 2013, scoring six goals in 14 games, as Rangers were relegated from the Premier League. He spent the 2013-14 campaign on loan at Newcastle United, where he scored 14 goals.
He played in QPR’s first two league games this season but not in their Capital One Cup defeat by Burton Albion, so remains eligible to play for Chelsea in all competitions. A deal to Liverpool earlier this summer fell through after it was thought that Rémy failed a medical.http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/aug/31/chelsea-loic-remy-qpr-four-year-deal

Loic Remy: Chelsea complete £10.5m signing of QPR striker
Chelsea have announced the signing of Queens Park Rangers striker Loic Remy on a four-year deal.
Chelsea triggered a £10.5m release clause in Remy's contract on Saturday lunchtime and he was then left out of QPR's squad to face Sunderland.
"I feel very happy and very proud," said Remy, 27. "When I heard Chelsea wanted to sign me I said 'let's go'."
Arsenal also made an enquiry for the Frenchman on Saturday night but quickly ended their interest.
Chelsea had been seeking to reinforce their attack after Fernando Torres moved to AC Milan on loan.
"They are one of the best clubs in the world," Remy added.
"I remember the amazing atmosphere at Stamford Bridge when I played there for Marseille and I can't wait to play for the first time in front of my new fans."
Remy was close to a move to Liverpool earlier on this summer when the Reds also met his release clause but the transfer fell through after reports of a failed medical.

Remy scored 14 goals in 26 Premier League appearances for Newcastle last season
It is understood he offered to play against Sunderland but QPR boss Harry Redknapp decided to leave him out.
"The deal looks like it has been done, so I had to make a change," said Redknapp after the 1-0 victory.
"He was in the team. I just got a phone call about 12 o'clock to say it looks like he is going to be moving.
"He didn't refuse to play, but it's difficult to go out there to play and get your head around it."
Arsenal will be without striker Olivier Giroud until the end of December with a broken leg but it appears they are unlikely to bring in a forward to fill the void.
The Gunners enquired about Remy when they thought one of their strikers may leave but, with that now not likely to happen, they ended their interes
