Giroud 'could return to France' after Higuain signing

Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud says he could return to France following the Blues’ signing of Gonzalo Higuain

The France international has struggled for goals since helping his country win the World Cup in Russia in the summer, and has netted just once for the club in the league this season.

The Blues are set to offload fellow striker Alvaro Morata to Atletico Madrid imminently, but on Wednesday the club finally closed on a long-anticipated deal for Juventus striker Higuain – and that has plunged Giroud’s future at Stamford Bridge into doubt.

"I will never make people unanimously satisfied with me,” admitted Giroud in an interview with French broadcaster Canal recorded shortly before Higuain’s move was confirmed.
