Loic Remy: 'I was to be a Liverpool player'

Chelsea striker Loic Remy says he still doesn't understand why his transfer to Liverpool collapsed during the summer.

The 27-year-old was set to move to Anfield for £8million before the Reds pulled out of the deal suggesting he had failed his medical.

Remy had failed previous medicals due to problems with his heart and knee but he was surprised by the announcement. 

'I did not understand myself. A problem during the medical examination? I do not know. They put it, that must be it,' he told the Daily Star. 

The Frenchman returned to QPR and appeared in the Premier League before making a move to Chelsea in the final week of the transfer window, where he will now play as back-up to Diego Costa who injured his hamstring on international duty.
