Loic Remy accepts he's no first-choice at new club Chelsea.
Fernando Torres' departure to AC Milan for the final two years of his five-and-a-half-year Chelsea contract - in effect ending his time at Stamford Bridge following his £50million move from Liverpool in January 2011 - necessitated the arrival of another striker, but even then Jose Mourinho moved swiftly to sign Remy from QPR for £10.5million.
"I spoke with him (Mourinho)," Remy told chelseafc.com after agreeing a four-year contract.
"He is very clever and he knows exactly what he wants. He has targets for me and I know I have a target for myself as well.
"Everybody wants the best so the discussion was really good. I know he can get the best out of a player and I'm looking forward to working with him."
Remy added: "We have two great strikers here already and I don't have a choice if I want to be in the team - I have to play at a very high level."
