Loic Remy has signed for Spanish outfit Las Palmas on a two-year deal following his release from Chelsea.
The 30-year-old had his contract cancelled at Stamford Bridge on Friday and the La Liga side moved swiftly to snap up the striker.
Remy had drawn interest from Marseille, Everton, Swansea and Newcastle during the transfer window but has opted to move to Spain.
The club confirmed his arrival in a statement on their official website.
They wrote: 'After reaching an agreement with Chelsea we can confirm Remy has signed and will play for the next two seasons.'
The Frenchman underwent a medical in London yesterday and is expected to be officially announced at a press conference on Saturday.
Remy signed for Chelsea three years ago for a £10.5million fee from London rivals Queens Park Rangers but struggled to establish himself at Stamford Bridge.
He spent last season on loan at Crystal Palace where he had hoped to rejuvenate his career but his hopes were dashed after an injury-plagued campaign reduced him to just five appearances.
And now the striker, who has represented France's national side 31 times, joins Costel Pantilimon and Jefferson Montero in Spain after they also finalised moves away from the Premier League to Deportivo La Coruna and Getafe respectively.
