Aston Villa desperate to sign Giroud to escape relegation

Aston Villa are reportedly trying to sign Olivier Giroud from Chelsea this month as they look to escape the relegation zone.

Villa are hoping to get a replacement for Wesley, who is out with an anterior cruciate ligament injury, as they fight for their Premier League status.

Giroud has been heavily linked with a move to Italian side Inter Milan but Villa are hoping to persuade the 33-year-old to stay in the Premier League, according to Le 10 Sport.
