'I'm still thirsty for trophies' - Giroud ambitious to make history for France

Olivier Giroud says he is still "thirsty" to make history and win trophies for France, with a number of individual goals still in his sight at international level.

The 33-year-old striker was a key figure in France's victory at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, however it was expected he would be moved aside in time for Euro 2020, with manager Didier Deschamps having a wealth of attacking options at his disposal for Les Bleus.

Giroud was also set aside in his club career in the first half of the 2019-20 season, as he rarely featured for Chelsea under new manager Frank Lampard and looked likely to be moved on in January.
