Giroud’s wife may open up Hammers move!

Sam Allardyce has opened up the intriguing prospect of  Olivier Giroud’s next move by claiming Everton will not be making any approaches for the player.

The Gunners striker was hunted by both The Toffees and Irons back in the summer with the north western outfit allegedly close to signing him.

But Allardyce claims that in fact Giroud’s wife Jennifer is keen to remain in London which would certainly open up the prospect of a Hammers move.

The Everton boss said: “As far as I know he doesn’t want to move north of Watford, well his wife doesn’t want to anyway.

He told the Liverpool Echo: ‘It’s very important to the wives, believe you me. Normally they are the bosses.’

Giroud’s agent Michael Manuello has already revealed that he and his client will now be ready to talk to clubs after the front man has failed to nail down a first team place at the Emirates.
