West Ham United have reportedly joined the race to sign Loic Remy from Chelsea this summer.

Remy was mostly used in a supporting role during his debut campaign at Stamford Bridge due to the fine form of Diego Costa, and the Frenchman is believed to be eager for first-team football on a regular basis.

The Hammers confirmed the appointment of Slaven Bilic on Tuesday, and The Express claims that the Croatian could bring Remy to the club in an £8m deal in one of his first moves as boss.

Remy scored nine goals in all competitions this season and has also been linked with Crystal Palace, Southampton and Swansea City.

West Ham are expected to announce the signing of Pedro Obiang on Wednesday.
