#4 Loic Remy

Thailand All-Stars v Chelsea FC
Loic Remy was restricted to a bit-part role at Chelsea

The French striker arrived in the Premier League from Marseille during the 2012-13 season, where he made an instant impact, scoring 6 goals in 14 games for Queens Park Rangers. However, this was not enough to save QPR from relegation, and he was loaned out to Newcastle in the following season.

Remy enjoyed one of the most prolific seasons of his career at Newcastle, scoring 14 goals in 26 appearances. His form earned him a move to Chelsea, where he spent the 2014-15 season as a back-up to Diego Costa, scoring 7 league goals as the Blues went on to win the Premier League.

The next season was not kind for Chelsea, who were 16th in the league at one point of time. Remy fell out of favour and saw his appearances limited to brief cameos, and the striker was loaned out to Crystal Palace. However, an injury early on meant that he struggled at Palace, making only 8 appearances for them. Remy was eventually let go by Chelsea in the summer of 2017, and he currently plays for Las Palmas in La Liga.
