Nice sporting director Gilles Grimandi has admitted the prospect of signing Olivier Giroud would be tempting, but is uncertain if a move is possible.
Giroud has been important in the Chelsea’s run to the Europa League semi-finals, where he’s scored 10 goals in 11 appearances, becoming only the third player in the competition’s history to hit double-digit goals.
However, the striker has been unable to parlay that into a larger role in the Premier League, where he has started just seven contests as Alvaro Morata, Eden Hazard and Gonzalo Higuain have been preferred by Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri to lead the line.
