Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink has reiterated Loic Remy will not be leaving the club this month.
Remy, 29, has been heavily linked with a loan move to several Premier League clubs this month after struggling to really make any impact since joining from Newcastle in August 2014.
However, the Chelsea manager has no intentions of letting the Frenchman leave with only Diego Costa and Radamel Falcao in reserve.
“He will stay until the end of the season,” Hiddink is quoted as saying by Sky Sports. “I have seen little of him because he repeatedly fell into injury. I am curious. I hope Remy picks it up. I hope he will deliver if he is needed.
“We must not go into this danger if something happens with one or two strikers. The window opens and the mouth shuts so we don’t have interest in this moment.
“We are thinking. When you think, you don’t speak normally. Suppose something is going on, it can be harmful when you go public.”
Remy has arguably not been given a fair crack at the whip since arriving at Stamford Bridge. He has been a regular contributor when called upon, but seemingly never appeared to win Jose Mourinho over.
In fact, over the last two campaigns no Chelsea player has required fewer minutes per goal in the Premier League than Remy (101.4 mins).
