Olivier Giroud to boycott deadline-day training?

Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud could reportedly skip training today as he looks to push through a deadline-day exit.

The 33-year-old has been linked with a departure from Stamford Bridge all month amid a lack of playing time, although the Blues are said to have been reluctant to let him go due to Tammy Abraham's injury.

Lazio are thought to have made the Frenchman an offer of a three-and-a-half year contract to move to the Italian capital, although Giroud is hesitant to sign due to concerns over playing time.

According to Sky Italia, Giroud is still determined to leave the club today and will refuse to take part in training while his future remains up in the air.

Inter Milan are said to have reignited their interest in the former Arsenal frontman, while a controversial potential move to a third London club - the Gunners' fierce rivals Tottenham Hotspur - also remains on the table.
