Bordeaux Scout Confirms Interest in Chelsea's Olivier Giroud as Summer Transfer

Bordeaux chief scout Hugo Varela has confirmed the Ligue 1 side are interested in signing Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud in the summer transfer window.

Varela told L'Equipe (h/t Simon Johnson at the Evening Standard) that the 32-year-old is a target but believes it will not be easy to land the FIFA World Cup winner.

"People who know him have told us a lot of good things about him as a player, of course, but also as a person. He has the attributes we are looking for, but he is not the only one.
