Euro race heats up for unsettled Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud

The race for unsettled Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud is heating up.

Off contract in June and struggling to break into manager Frank Lampard's starting line-up, Giroud is considering his options.

Lyon are keen, as are Crystal Palace and West Ham in England.
