Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud admits he would like to play in the MLS in 'two or three years'.

The 34-year-old almost joined Inter Milan in January and still remains a presence in paper talk after Chelsea signed Timo Werner to be their starting striker.

And Giroud believes he has a couple of seasons left in top European football before playing in America.

"Honestly, a return to France is not my priority. It is not my priority career choice. I do not exclude anything, but if I have to change course, I am currently more focused on a new adventure in a foreign league," Giroud told RMC.

"I hope to play at the highest level for two or three more years if my body allows me. Afterwards, I never hid an interest in a possible challenge in the United States. It was relevant a few months ago, but it was much too early.

"I'll think about it. I was also close to signing in Italy, I know that the Italians like experienced players. I won't deny myself anything. It will be above all a question of opportunities at that moment."
