Giroud open to MLS move

Olivier Giroud has acknowledged that he would be tempted by the challenge in Major League Soccer once he decides to part ways with Chelsea.

The France international has been with the Blues for the past one-and-a-half seasons but he has yet to secure a regular starting spot.

In the current season, he has played second fiddle to Tammy Abraham in the opening phase of the league campaign and it appears that he may consider a fresh move before winding up his career.

Speaking to RMC Sport, Giroud said that he would be open to a transfer away from Stamford Bridge and a move to Major League Soccer could be a possibility in a year or two.

"The MLS for my family, my children who speak English, it's interesting. In a year? In two years? I do not know when. But of course after that I will be open to a final challenge," he told.

Giroud was left on the bench during the recent league clash against Sheffield United which ended in a 2-2 draw. The Frenchman witnessed Michy Batshuayi preferred ahead of him to replace Abraham for a cameo.
