Besiktas to move for Chelsea forward Olivier Giroud?

Besiktas are reportedly eyeing up a summer move for Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud.

The Frenchman's current contract at Stamford Bridge expires in the summer, and he is allowed to sign a pre-contract with a foreign club in January.

According to Goal.com, the 31-year-old is wanted by the Turkish outfit as a replacement for Alvaro Negredo.

The report adds that Besiktas will offer Giroud a tempting contract in the January transfer window ahead of next season.

The former Arsenal forward has 83 caps for the French national team, netting 32 times.
