Olivier Giroud linked with second major European team

Olivier Giroud has been linked with a move to Marseille.

The Chelsea striker was only signed from Arsenal in January, and did extremely well in the second half of the season, but Chelsea’s interest in stars like Gonzalo Higuain has meant that other teams in Europe are sniffing around the World Cup winner.

RMC Sport in France have the report that the team from the South of the country want to bring the ball in.

The Daily Mirror had reports of Atletico being interested in the forward earlier this summer, so there’s definitely a market out there for him.

It would be a slightly odd move to sell him when he’s perfect backup striker, but it may be that he doesn’t want to stay as a backup player after doing that fairly often at Arsenal.

It will all depends on who Chelsea bring in though, and at the moment, there’s not much movement on that front.
