Olivier Giroud is once again considering his future at Chelsea and may look for an exit in the next transfer window.
The striker has played just 33 minutes or first-team football this season and is concerned that his lack of playing time may cots him his place in Didier Deschamps’ French squad for the European Championships next summer.
The World Cup winner almost left the West London club In January but eventually stayed and forced his way back into Frank Lampard’s plans, helping them to a top four finish in the Premier League last season.
However, the arrival of Timo Werner in the summer has pushed him further down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge, and now he may seek to move elsewhere when the transfer window opens again.
Inter Milan were heavily linked with him last time round and can be expected to be among the clubs interested in signing him again.
