Proposed moves for Benjamin Stambouli and Loic Remy

TRANSFER TALK


Benjamin Stambouli, who didn't make the grade at Tottenham, is now talking with Schalke 04 after discussions with Real Betis. Currently a home-grown player with PSG he has been told he is surplus to requirements by the new manager Unai Emery. The 26-year-old (27 next August) defensive midfielder met with Schalke officials in Paris on Tuesday with a loan deal being proposed.

Crystal Palace are continuing the search for a striker and have turned their attention to Loic Remy after failing to convince Liverpool to lower their price for Christian Benteke. They have offered a loan plus purchase deal to Chelsea according to French newspaper L'Equipe. Everton have also been linked with the 29-year-old (30 next January) Frenchman who was a former Tottenham target, indeed he even agreed to join us at one point unless an offer came in from a Champions League club.

French Football News report that stories linking him to Lyon are not correct and that Liverpool have spoken with him but he prefers to stay in London.
