Olivier Giroud is reportedly unlikely to complete a move away from Chelsea over the January transfer window amid interest from Crystal Palace.

Olivier Giroud will reportedly not complete a move away from Chelsea over the January transfer window amid interest from Crystal Palace.

The Frenchman has been left "frustrated" this season after falling behind Tammy Abraham and Michy Batshuayi in the pecking order, making just two Premier League starts since August.

With his contract at Stamford Bridge expiring at the end of the current campaign, reports have claimed that Crystal Palace were positioned to complete a £5m move for the striker in January.

However, according to The Sun, Giroud could be left stranded at Chelsea until the summer due to Palace's reluctance to countenance both his wages of £135,000 a week along with a £5m transfer fee.

Other reports have suggested that Inter Milan are interested in doing a deal for the World Cup winner.
