Giroud’s agent insists Chelsea striker could move to Prem rival

The agent of unsettled Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud won’t rule out him moving within the Premier League.

Giroud, 34, has been linked with West Ham as he struggles for minutes this season.

Agent Michael Manuello told Foot Mercato: “The ideal would rather be for him to discover another culture, to make another overview. Now, a new English club with goals can also make him think because the big difference with the Premier League is that it remains an extraordinary championship, which offers a different pleasure.

“So if a real good Premier League club came along, yes that could weigh. But there is an open mind to go and live something elsewhere abroad.”
