Newcastle United are said to be interested in Chelsea forward Olivier Giroud.

Newcastle United appear very keen on the idea of signing Olivier Giroud from Chelsea.
Steve Bruce is very keen on the French international, who has been starved of first-team action this season.
And Newcastle fans are generally eager to see the experienced target-man brought to St. James’ Park.
Newcastle have actually already completed some impressive business this month, with the additions of Nabil Bentaleb, Valentino Lazaro and Danny Rose all set to improve the squad.
Newcastle are still short of a striker though, as Joelinton, Dwight Gayle and Andy Carroll have all struggled for goals this term.
Joelinton has just two strikes to his name, while Gayle and Carroll are still yet to score.
Giroud would surely increase Newcastle’s threat in front of goal, even though he may not be fully match sharp, after spending so much time on the bench at Chelsea this season.
