Chelsea
are planning to sign Olivier Giroud from Arsenal on
loan for the remainder of the season, according to SkySports.
The
reports have linked Olivier Giroud with several sides including Bundesliga side
Borussia Dortmund.
Chelsea
have been searching for a striker to solve their attacking issues, the Blues have
struggled in front of goals this season despite of signing Alvaro Morata from
Real Madrid in the summer. They have been linked with West Ham United striker Andy
Carroll and Roma forward Edin Dzeko, but both deals are unlikely to happen,
according to reports.
Arsenal
boss Arsene Wenger is not ready to sell Olivier Giroud unless they sign a
striker, they have been heavily linked with Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
It
is clean now that Giroud could be leaving this month if Arsenal sign a striker
before the transfer window ends.
Giroud
have scored 73 goals in 179 appearances for Arsenal in Premier League since his
move from Montpellier in 2012.
Meanwhile,
Paris Saint Germain attacker Lucas Moura has also been linked with Arsenal, as
per Metro.
Tottenham Hotspurs are also in the race and have reportedly agreed £25million move
for the Brazilian.
