Olivier Giroud “pleased with Juventus’ interest” as Chelsea face fight to keep striker

Well, this is the one piece of news that we all expected to be hearing during this winter transfer window, whether Chelsea will keep hold of striker Olivier Giroud or not.

Things seemed rosy once again between Chelsea and Giroud, with the striker being picked a little bit more than he has been this season in recent matches. However, it may still not be enough and the fact he is and will always be fighting with both Tammy Abraham and Timo Werner for just one spot, may make him force a move away.

The ball is rather in Chelsea’s court though, but will they really want to keep a player who is desperate to move? That resolve is about to be tested according to transfer journalist Ekrem Konur, who claims that Juventus have made an official offer for Giroud, who’s head has been turned by said offer.
