In-form Chelsea star responds to rumours linking him with Stamford Bridge exit

Chelsea striker, Olivier Giroud, in action.

Olivier Giroud talks about a transfer away from Chelsea as transfer links continue

Speaking in an interview with Sky Sports (h/t Football.london), striker Olivier Giroud said that he is not thinking too much about the transfer window and his focus remains at Chelsea.

The 34-year-old had a slow start to the season as he played back-up to Timo Werner and Tammy Abraham. However, he saw much more action with the first-team in December 2020.

The striker scored 7 of his 9 goals in that month, including three in the Premier League. His tally of 9 goals this season is much more impressive considering he has started in only 5 matches.

Olivier Giroud is a dependable player for Chelsea especially in the 2020/21 season.

This has led to the former Arsenal striker boasting of a goal every 63 minutes this season. Speaking about this impressive statistic, Giroud shed light on the fact that he is the ‘happiest’ when playing.

“Obviously, I am very happy with these numbers. I am the happiest man when I am on the pitch.”

The World Cup winner did not explicitly deny the possibility of a move away from Stamford Bridge but said that he remains focused at his current club.

“We will see what happens in the next few months but I just want to keep my efficiency high… I will just carry on like this and try to keep it up.”

Amidst such rumours, Chelsea should realise the importance of Giroud if they don’t already. He has scored at a very high rate and convincing him to stay at the end of this window would be great thinking by the club.
