New Everton boss Sam Allardyce added credence to that suggestion this week, when asked if he'd be interested in bringing the 31-year-old on board when the January transfer window opens
"I wouldn't have thought so because he refused to come last time," Allardyce said when asked if he would pursue Giroud next month.
"He doesn't want to move north of London, I don't think.

Giroud has been forced to settle for a bit-part role this season and recently equalled a rather unusual record as the Premier League's most prolific substitute for a single club, drawing level with Manchester United's famous super-sub Ole Gunnar Solskjaer earlier this month.
