Crystal Palace are reportedly keen on a January deal for Chelsea forward Olivier Giroud.
The France international - also linked with the likes of Inter Milan and Borussia Dortmund - has only made four Premier League appearances for Chelsea during the 2019-20 campaign.
The 33-year-old will see his contract at Stamford Bridge expire this summer, and it is widely thought that the experienced striker will seek pastures new at the start of 2020.
According to The Express, Palace want to complete a January deal for the 2018 World Cup winner, but the Eagles will struggle to afford the Frenchman's salary.
The report claims that Giroud is looking for a two-year deal worth £7m a season, which could price Roy Hodgson's side out of a mid-season swoop.
The former Grenoble youngster has scored 19 times in 69 appearances for Chelsea since joining the club from capital rivals Arsenal in January 2018.
