Giroud leaning towards Chelsea stay

Olivier Giroud is open to staying at Chelsea this summer.

The Frenchman pushed hard for an exit from Stamford Bridge during the January transfer window.

But a deal never eventuated and Giroud stayed.

Fortunately for the 33-year-old, Tammy Abraham went down with injury and Michy Batshuayi failed to fire in his absence.

Giroud has since stepped up for Frank Lampard's side and would be open to signing a contract extension, claims the Daily Mail.

As a free agent Giroud will field numerous offers, with reports claiming Lazio and Inter Milan remain interested in his services.
