# West Ham fans react to Olivier Giroud rumours

West Ham United supporters believe Chelsea’s Olivier Giroud could be a useful signing for the Hammers on transfer deadline day.

Giroud’s future at Chelsea remains up in the air and [Football Insider claims](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-west-ham-launch-bid-to-sign-90k-a-week-pl-striker-3m-will-seal-deal/) that West Ham will make a late loan move to sign the World Cup winner.

A host of clubs have been linked with the striker recently, including Tottenham, Lazio and Inter, but he’s yet to finalise a move away, with Chelsea still searching for his potential replacement ([Sky Sports](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-west-ham-launch-bid-to-sign-90k-a-week-pl-striker-3m-will-seal-deal/)).

The Blues remain in talks with Napoli’s Dries Mertens and if they can complete a deal for the Belgian, Giroud may be free to leave Stamford Bridge before tonight’s 11pm deadline ([Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11668/11921403/chelsea-in-talks-to-sign-napoli-forward-dries-mertens)).

Giroud is out of favour under Frank Lampard this season – starting just twice in the Premier League so far ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/24444/Show/Olivier-Giroud)).

Despite his lack of game time this season, these West Ham fans on Twitter think there could still be some value in a move for the experienced striker.

> Twitter: @whufc\_news 100% no brainer until end of season for me. Could get us crucial goals to keep us up. (@Mr\_BA6)

> Twitter: @whufc\_news Honestly think he would do very, very well for us (@\_JustForBants)

> Twitter: @whufc\_news Good looks. Linked up well with Griezemann in the WC playing the 2 strikers (@TristanJL4)

> Twitter: @whufc\_news GET IT DONE (@shaun\_gamble)

> Twitter: @whufc\_news Stick him up top with Antonio, could be interesting. (@Andy\_Russell\_UK)

> Twitter: @whufc\_news Hes annoying but hes good. I’d be happy to take him. Typically though, he’d get injured by April on a 3 year contract!! (@Nakismu)
