West Ham target Giroud

According to reports in England, West Ham United are interested in signing Olivier Giroud during the January transfer window. The Frenchman has had a thoroughly successful tenure in English football thus far both with the Blues and Arsenal, and it appears as if his time here isn’t over by a long shot. While it’s more likely that he’ll remain at Stamford Bridge he hasn’t been quite as consistent in front of goal as many would’ve hoped, opening the door for a potential switch over to the Hammers.

The club are still pondering over whether or not to extend Andy Carroll’s deal by two years, and if they don’t, that would likely be the catalyst for an approach to Chelsea over the signing of Giroud. Both players have the same kind of style and Giroud would likely fit into that role quite well, but at this moment in time, that remains circumstantial.
