Olivier Giroud 'to join Inter Milan this summer'

Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud will reportedly join Inter Milan on a free transfer this summer.

The France international was strongly linked with a move away from Frank Lampard's side in January, but the Premier League club were not prepared to sanction an exit having not secured a replacement.

Giroud's contract will expire at the end of June, though, and according to Corriere dello Sport, the 2018 World Cup winner will join Inter ahead of the 2020-21 campaign.

The 33-year-old has struggled for regular action during the current season, making just nine Premier League appearances and 13 in total, scoring just three times in the process.

Giroud scored over 100 times for Arsenal before moving to Stamford Bridge, though, and has still found the back of the net on 21 occasions for the Blues despite struggling for starts.

Inter, meanwhile, are also allegedly weighing up a summer move for Manchester United's Paul Pogba.
