Are there any truth in reports linking Giroud to West Ham?
Your insight is appreciated Ed002, as always.
{Ed002's Note - Olivier Giroud (S) out of contract in the summer and likely available in January if he wants to move. West Ham would offer a good solution as he can stay in London. Crystal Palace offered the same solution but there is no interest any longer. Napoli, Juventus and Inter have all raised the subject with Chelsea. Lyon and Bordeaux have likely moved on from their prior interest. Milan will offer an option. There was a discussion with Rennes but that will only come in to play if M'Baye Niang were to leave. The lady from Marseille knows him well and may offer a solution but they really want a younger player.}

We should only sell him to West Ham if it puts us in a good position for Declan Rice.

Thanks Ed002, great as always.
I agree Graham. We should only agree for him to part ways of it means that he'll play a part in bringing Rice to Chelsea.
