Chelsea have agreed a deal for Queens Park Rangers striker Loic Remy after matching his £8million release clause.Jose Mourinho is keen to add another forward to his squad following Fernando Torres' move to AC Milan on a two-year deal
and the Portuguese boss decided to look at their West London rivals' striker.
Remy's release clause was set at £8m for any team in the Champions League, but at £11m for sides in the top six and £15m for any other club.
The 27-year-old is believed to want wages of £80,000-per-week.Torres' departure leaves Mourinho with just Diego Costa and Didier Drogba as recognised senior strikers.
Chelsea first made contact with Remy's agent when they feared Drogba was injured earlier this month.Chelsea have contacted QPR about the striker's availability on either a loan or permanent deal.
The former Marseille man's versatility means that he could operate as a central striker or wide in a front three.
Remy has made it clear that he wants to leave Loftus Road for a team playing in Europe's elite competition
and it is believed the French international would jump at the chance to move to Stamford Bridge.
The 27-year-old impressed on loan at Newcastle United last season, scoring 14 goals in 26 league games.
