Olivier Giroud faces being bounced out of Chelsea this month.

The Mirror says Giroud looks like being the first casualty of new Chelsea chief Maurizio Sarri's reign.

Sarri is keen to stamp his mark on the Stamford Bridge squad following the departure of Antonio Conte, and his raid on Juventus for Gonzalo Higuain spells bad news for Giroud.

Argentina international Higuain's arrival at Stamford Bridge would spell trouble for Giroud, who could win the World Cup with France on Sunday but soon find himself looking for a new club.

Giroud has 12 months left on his contract and other clubs are aware of his availability.
