RAMSEY HAS HIS SAY ON GIROUD TO JUVENTUS RUMOURS

It is no news that Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud wants to quit Stamford Bridge as soon as he can in search of more game time at another club. The French man was seriously linked with a move to Antonio Conte's Inter Milan side last summer but eventually remained at Chelsea after manager Frank Lampard blocked the move from happening.


Now, Inter Milan's Serie A rivals Juventus have been reported to have joined the hunt for the former Arsenal striker's signature and are reportedly ready to make a move for him as early as this January.

Although Giroud has been given some more game time over the past few weeks compared to the ones before, he still has his eyes set on a move away from the London club. The 34-year-old was a starter in four of Chelsea's last six games and was impressive as he found the back of the net in the games against Leeds United, Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Aston Villa. He, however, remains behind fellow strike options Timo Werner and Tammy Abraham under Frank Lampard.
Juventus manager Andrea Pirlo was asked if he was going to make a move for Giroud this window and he gave a subtle hint by saying the striker will be a handy signing for the Serie A Champions. The Juve boss also said he has had talks with the Italian side, and they know what he needs and are expected to work towards it as soon as possible.
A possible Giroud transfer to Juventus means a possible reunion with former Arsenal teammate Aaron Ramsey who is already licking his lips at the prospect of linking up with his former French colleague once more.
When asked about the prospect of a reunion, Ramsey said he would be delighted to have Giroud at Juventus because he scores lots of goals and would help the team.
