Olivier Giroud is plotting a Chelsea exit in January as his spot in France's European Championships squad becomes under threat once again, according to reports.
The Blues striker has been given just 33 minutes of Premier League action by Chelsea manager Frank Lampard this season due to the arrival of new attacking talents Timo Werner and Kai Havertz at Stamford Bridge.
Giroud nearly left Chelsea this time last year due to a lack of game time but the 34-year-old earned his place back in Lampard's starting line-up to fire the west Londoners to a top-four finish last term.
