The 32-year-old, who arrived from the Gunners in January, has since been linked with a move away given his contract at Stamford Bridge ends in the summer.Marseille have been heavily linked with a move for Giroud, who last played in Ligue 1 in 2012 during his Montpellier days, when he hit 33 goals in 73 outings.And now French outlet Le Foot has suggested the Stade Velodrome club are currently closer than ever to agreeing a deal for Giroud. It has been reported that it may include a loan deal in January until he is a free agent in June, or Giroud may have to sit tight at Chelsea until the summer when he would join Marseille permanently.A summer in which he won the World Cup was followed by a period of uncertainty, but the player responded to claims he was set to leave Stamford Bridge in October.“There was really a contact [from Marseille] last year, but nothing really concrete this summer,” he said.I had just arrived at Chelsea, it was not the time to pack my bags again three months later,” adding that he was at the top club in England.
