Chelsea forward Olivier Giroud 'set for Inter Milan medical in £5.5m deal'

Chelsea forward Olivier Giroud is reportedly set for an Inter Milan medical after the Italian club had an improved £5.5m offer accepted.

Giroud has struggled for game time in West London this season and is said to be keen on a move this month.

According to the Daily Mail, Giroud will travel to Italy for a medical this weekend, having already agreed personal terms.

The report adds that the two clubs had been at odds over the transfer fee, but have now settled on £5.5m.

The French international signed for Chelsea in January 2018 when current Inter coach Antonio Conte was the manager, and played a crucial role in that season's FA Cup victory.

However, the former Arsenal striker has managed just seven appearances in all competitions this season, scoring one goal.
