CHELSEA are preparing to get rid of Loic Remy and Radamel Falcao this month, according to reports.

The Blues have reportedly offered France international Remy to Newcastle on a loan deal for the rest of the season.

Newcastle are in need of goals as they battle against relegation from the Premier League.

 

The Newcastle Chronicle claim Chelsea have contacted the Magpies offering the services of their former player.

Remy is keen for games in an effort to force his way into Didier Deschamps' squad for Euro 2016.

 

Aston Villa are also keen on the player but Remy is understood to be uninterested in joining the rock-bottom club.

Meanwhile, reports have emerged linking Falcao with a shock move to Major League Soccer.

Falcao, 29, is expected to leave Chelsea at the end of the season when his loan deal from Monaco expires.

 

But his stay at Stamford Bridge could be cut short, with Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo claiming the Clombia international is wanted by Columbus Crew.

The MLS side are preparing for the new season, which kicks off this spring, and reportedly hope to have Falcao in place before their opening league fixture against Portland Timbers.
