Aston Villa will reportedly 'try everything' as they look to sign Olivier Giroud from Chelsea this month.
Villa are desperate to bring in a striker with Wesley out with an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
As reported by Le 10 Sport, Giroud is Villa's preferred option to fill that void, with the Frenchman possessing a wealth of Premier League experience.
Giroud is also the subject of interest from Inter Milan and it will be intriguing to see where the 33-year-old ends up.
This season Giroud has been used sparingly by Chelsea - he has featured just five times in the Premier League.
Giroud's Chelsea contract expires next summer but he is eager to move this month as he seeks to ensure he can play a key part for France at Euro 2020.
Villa, who are languishing in 18th place in the Premier League, return to action on Tuesday when they host Watford.
