Chelsea forward Olivier Giroud 'open to joining Tottenham Hotspur'

Chelsea forward Olivier Giroud is reportedly willing to entertain a January switch to Tottenham Hotspur.

Giroud has spent the last seven-and-a-half years in London, scoring a total of 78 Premier League goals for Arsenal and the Blues.

However, the 33-year-old has fallen out of favour at Stamford Bridge, leading to him being keen to find a new club before the end of the month.

With Spurs eager to secure a short-term replacement for the injured Harry Kane, Sky Italia claims that Giroud is open to representing the fierce rivals of his previous and present team.

Spurs boss Jose Mourinho is also interested in signing the France international, leaving the club's hierarchy to try to negotiate a deal with their Chelsea counterparts.

The World Cup winner has less than six months remaining on his contract.
