Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud is wanted by MLS side Vancouver Whitecaps.

Sportsnet650 says the World Cup winner, 33, is being lined up for a move to the other side of the Atlantic after losing his place in Chelsea's starting XI.

It's reckoned the Whitecaps have already made an audacious move for the former Gunners ace.

But Giroud is not interested in moving his family to the Canadian side.

And he instead wants to go to either Los Angeles or New York, although Miami, Washington and Chicago are also tempting.
