Lyon to make January bid for Chelsea forward Olivier Giroud?

Lyon are reportedly contemplating an approach for Chelsea forward Olivier Giroud during the January transfer window.

Lyon have reportedly identified Chelsea forward Olivier Giroud as a potential January target.

Having only played a bit-part role for the Blues this season, the 33-year-old is attracting interest ahead of the midway point of the campaign.

According to Soccer Link, Lyon may contact Chelsea regarding a potential deal for Giroud, who has less than a year left on his contract.

The World Cup winner has been provided with just 212 minutes of competitive football since Frank Lampard's arrival at Stamford Bridge.

The report suggests that a move may only come to fruition if Lyon opt to cash in on Moussa Dembele as the 23-year-old allegedly continues to be courted by Manchester United.

While Giroud would only cost a small fee, the Ligue 1 outfit may look to recoup well in excess of £40m should they part ways with Dembele.
