Lazio have launched a bid for Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud.

The Daily Mail says Lazio have made an offer for Giroud but the Frenchman is looking to remain in London amid interest from Tottenham.

The 33-year-old has longed for the exit door from Stamford Bridge having seen game time severely limited for the west London club this season.

And with the Euros coming up this summer, Giroud is in need of consistent playing time to make it into Didier Deschamp's squad for the tournament.

Giroud had been linked with a move to Antonio Conte's Inter Milan this month. However, that transfer has gone cold and is unlikely to happen.
