According to a report on Football London, Chelsea would make a move for Arsenal striker Oliver Giroud if Chelsea’s move for Roma striker Edin Dzeko collapses.

The report claims Chelsea are interested in a potential loan deal for the Arsenal striker.

Giroud is now the latest striker to be linked with Chelsea this month after West Ham’s Andy Carroll, Stoke’s Peter Crouch and Burnley’s Ashley Barnes were all linked with Chelsea this month.

With Dortmund’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang potentially on his way to Arsenal, Giroud is set to be pushed down the pecking order even more at the club.

Would Giroud be the perfect target man for Chelsea?
