O. Giroud may return to France in January

"Chelsea" striker Olivier Giroud, who has hardly received any chances to shine this season, is increasingly talking about a possible departure.

The 33-year-old Frenchman, in an interview with "Le Dauphine Libere", revealed that he should leave "The Blues" as soon as January and could return to France.

"It will be extremely difficult to stay with "Chelsea". I have a meeting scheduled with the coach. It is very likely that changes will have to be made, as I do not get enough opportunities to perform on the field.

However, I am still a "Chelsea" player at the moment and we have a few more games before the transfer window opens. Then we will sit down and look for the best option. Returning to France is one of the possibilities," said O. Giroud.

The striker has played only 7 matches for "Chelsea" this season, scoring 1 goal.
