Giroud has started only one game for Chelsea this season
Striker open to January move amid warning from Deschamps

Olivier Giroud is ready to consider offers to leave Chelsea in January to secure greater playing time in the buildup to the European Championship. The striker has not started a Premier League or Champions League match this season, with his one start in six appearances coming in the Carabao Cup.

Although that contrasts with eight appearances for France and five goals, including two against Sweden on Tuesday, he has been advised by Didier Deschamps to move unless his situation changes, with the summer’s Euro 2020 finals in mind.
