Chelsea striker Loic Remy an Aston Villa transfer target - Remi Garde
Garde, whose side are at the bottom of the Premier League and 11 points from safety, is searching for reinforcements as he tries to turn their season around.
The Villa boss, who was assistant manager at Lyon when Remy started his career at the Stade de Gerland, said: "Loic is a guy I know well, and of course he would be an interesting player for the team.
"He is one of some players I'll try to attract to Aston Villa. Loic is a special one because he knows the country and the league. I have got some targets who could be at this level without knowing the country and the league.
"I have to work with the players I have currently, but if you don't achieve that too much and you can bring in players with more confidence and with a lot of experience, it could be helpful for the team."
Remy has struggled for games at Chelsea this season despite Diego Costa's lack of form.
The 28-year-old has scored three goals in 14 games but has started just once in the league. He has made only seven league starts for the Blues in total since arriving from Queens Park Rangers last year.
Villa are the lowest scorers in the top division, netting just 15 goals in 19 games, and head to second bottom Sunderland on Saturday four points behind their relegation rivals.
They lost 2-0 at Norwich on Monday, losing ground on their fellow strugglers at the bottom thanks to goals from Jonny Howson and Dieumerci Mbokani.
