Inter plot January loan move for Giroud
Inter Milan are once again keen on signing Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud, according to reports.
The Italian side tried to secure a deal for Giroud earlier this year, but the Frenchman remained at Stamford Bridge.

That has seen Inter return to the table, according to Tuttosport, and they could make a six-month loan offer for the France international with an option to buy included.
