Giroud looks to be on the move away from Chelsea, with a fee said to be agreed with Tottenham. However, that has come after he was approached by the Toon. The France international, though, either wants to stay in the Premier League or move abroad.
As you would expect, Newcastle fans have been reacting in their droves, and it seems that many are not too disappointed that he will not be making the move.
At Newcastle, you would expect him to start every week considering Joelinton’s troubles this term – he has scored just one goal in 23 starts so far. You could therefore understand why Newcastle fans would be annoyed Giroud has turned them down.

However, some supporters believe that it would not be in his best interests to move to the north east anyway.
There is no doubt that a switch from Champions League-chasing Chelsea to a mid-table side would be a bit of a culture shock for the 33-year-old. Also, Joelinton has had just six months in the Premier League – with a bit more time to adapt, he could be worth the record fee they paid for him.
