Tottenham Hotspur in talks with Olivier Giroud

Gianluca di Marzio reports this evening that Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur are in talks with Olivier Giroud and are offering him a 1.5 year contract to sign him in the final hours of the current window.

It is understood that manager José Mourinho wants him now. Inter Milan are no longer convinced that signing a striker this month is a good idea and have thus asked Giroud to wait to move to them until June.

This from Giroud’s perspective is somewhat out of the question, as he needs playing time in the next 6 months to get himself a place at EURO 2020.

It must also be noted that Chelsea are not currently behind the idea of selling Giroud to Spurs.
