Chelsea will consider releasing Loic Remy for loan this week.

The Sun says Remy will be made available if Chelsea sign Corinthians striker Alexandre Pato.

Crystal Palace, Swansea City and Newcastle United are all keen on Remy.

Palace boss Alan Pardew is desperate for a high-profile striker and has also had his eye on former Arsenal duo Emmanuel Adebayor and Nicklas Bendtner.

But he will move for Remy, 29, should the France international come onto the market.
