Former Chelsea striker fails Serie A club’s medical

Loic Remy won’t be joining newly-promoted Serie A side Benevento after the Frenchman failed the club’s medical.

The former Chelsea striker had arranged to join the Serie B champions on a free transfer from Lille.

The Ligue 1 club made efforts to keep him after his contract expired at Lille. He, however, insisted he wanted to leave.

Remy passed the first part of his medical earlier this month but further checks have shown an issue which has caused Benevento to end their interest.
