A player who failed a medical at Liverpool has revealed he snubbed Arsenal to join Premier League rivals Chelsea.
Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea all wanted to sign him Failing a medical at Liverpool would be a devastating blow for most players but within a few weeks ex- Premier League striker Loic Remy had already turned down Arsenal and signed for Chelsea. Intent on bringing the Frenchman to Anfield, Liverpool triggered a £8.5m release clause in Remy’s QPR contract in the summer of 2014.
‘At the time, my agent was the same as Patrice Evra’s – so Patrice’s brother went to Lyon, my hometown, to get my passport, I then travelled all the way to Paris, and met Patrice’s brother there, he gave me the passport and I flew straight to Boston. ‘We arrived, me and my agent, and it all felt like a dream – it was happening so quickly. I met all the guys, started doing my interviews, and had a medical, but something was wrong.
