Nice striker Loic Remy has asked the French club to drop the asking price to allow him to leave for Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur, according to latest reports.

English side Stoke City were close to landing the striker but Nice weren't impressed with the offer they had placed for Remy. The move eventually fell through but it appears that Spurs are interested in the player too.

It's been claimed that a representative of Spurs was at the game between Nice and Stoke at the weekend but it seems that they are not willing to pay £14million that Nice want for the player.

However, Remy himself wants to leave French football this summer and has asked his club to drop their asking price in order to facilitate his move to England.

"A move to Spurs would be interesting," Remy told the Daily Star. "Stoke is not the move that I want. Nice is in real need of money and it should be adaptable with the price to help sell me."

The Daily Mirror told quotes him as saying, "I want to go. I really hope there can be an agreement before the end of the month.

"I am interested in England, but there is also a club in France in for me."
