Chelsea striker Giroud admits he's open to Lyon move

Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud says he'd seriously consider a move to Lyon.

Giroud is off contract at the end of the season.

And he told Telefoot: "Fear of being stuck at Chelsea? No. We will see what the future holds to the extent that the club can not recruit. Of course I aspire to more playing time, to find a more important role in a team. We'll see what happens.

"A return to France? It's a possibility. But to say that I made some call to a French club is a big claim. It's a possibility. But again, I'm happy in England.

"The words of (Lyon president Jean Michel) Aulas? Of course it's nice, especially since it's President Aulas. OL is a good club. Am I playing my last season at Chelsea? No. Would OL be my priority if I returned to France? Yes. Open to discussion this summer with French clubs? I am always open to discussion."
