Fresh reports in Italy reveal that Inter Milan have resuscitated their interest in Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud.

According to Sky in Italy, the Italians are making progress in their bid to land the France international.

Reporter Dharmesg Sheth has said: “According to our colleagues, Giroud to Inter Milan is back on.

“Inter couldn’t agree a fee and turned their attention to Fernando Llorente but that loan fell through – Napoli wanted to keep Llorente as back-up – and the latest information we have from Italy is that the clubs (Chelsea and Inter) are close to an agreement that would see Giroud get a two-and-a-half-year deal.”
