Olivier Giroud praised as he scores FOUR in Sevilla rout with Glenn Hoddle insisting he can be a 'great asset' for Chelsea amid January interest from Inter Milan and Juventus: 'People think he is just a target man but he is so much more than that'

Olivier Giroud was heavily praised by Glenn Hoddle after his stunning display in the Champions League against Sevilla with the BT Sport pundit insisting he can be a 'great asset' for the club amid January interest from Juventus and Inter Milan.

Giroud, who is being linked with a move to Italy after his representative recently hit out at Frank Lampard for using the French striker so sparingly, was at his brilliant best on Wednesday night as he netted four times, including a perfect hat-trick, against Sevilla to help Chelsea secure top spot in Group E.
