Marseille coach Garcia jokes about deal for Chelsea striker Giroud

Olympique Marseille coach Rudi Garcia was coy on Sunday about their interest in Olivier Giroud.

The Chelsea striker is a top target for OM sports chief Andoni Zubizarreta - with the support of Garcia and the club's board.

Asked about a deal for the World Cup winner, Garcia declared: "If Giroud interests us really? No name or clues will be given on the transfer window for now.

"Andoni is with us, I do not know if he's hanging around (he looks around), but ask him the question!"

Giroud is due back at Chelsea for preseason training later this week.
