Leicester City have reportedly had a £11.5m offer accepted for Chelsea striker Loic Remy.

According to talkSPORT reporter Ben Jacobs, the Foxes attempted to take Remy on a loan deal until the end of the season with an option to buy, but were told by Chelsea that the only offer on the table was a permanent move.

League leaders Leicester have been in the market for another striker as backup to prolific duo Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez following the loan exit of Andrej Kramaric to Hoffenheim.

Newcastle United, Crystal Palace and Manchester City had also been credited with an interest in Remy.
