Olivier Giroud 'contacted' by Rangers in potential transfer coup

Rangers are said to have approached French World Cup winner Olivier Giroud over a transfer to Ibrox.

The veteran striker is out of favour at Chelsea and soon to be out of contract.

Giroud, 34, is free to speak to other clubs given his deal with Frank Lampard's side expires in the summer.

And the former Arsenal frontman has reportedly been contacted by Rangers who are attempting to end the prospect of Celtic winning nine titles in a row.

Giroud moved to west London in January 2018 but has made just seven appearances for the English Premier League club this season.

Respected French outlet L'Equipe are reporting the 2018 World Cup winner is interesting Rangers who have Alfredo Morelos and Jermain Defoe as their centre-forward options.

The likes of Borussia Dortmund have also been linked with the striker.

A loan exit from Stamford Bridge appears likely but a permanent deal could be struck with his future with the Blues looking bleak.
