Rarely Plays, Olivier Giroud Threatens to Leave Chelsea

DBasia.news –  With minutes of playing on the pitch with Chelsea being too few, French bomber, Oliver Giroud, has given an ultimatum to his club. If his playing time does not increase, he has threatened to leave Chelsea in January.

This season, Giroud had just collected one appearance as a starter for Chelsea. That happened because Frank Lampard preferred to play Tammy Abraham and Michy Batshuayi as the Blues’ banging agent.

“I will fight for my place at Chelsea. The coach knows that. And we will make a decision in January, “Giroud said at Soccerway.

“Do I want to leave Chelsea? Not necessarily. But if I have to make a choice … I have some wonderful years ahead of me. I am 33 years old, I still have good legs and a healthy lifestyle and I feel good physically. “

“I want to have fun and want to play more. Chelsea is my priority, but if in the end I am forced to make a choice, I will do it like when I left Arsenal. Lampard will almost certainly watch my match with France. However, I will return to Chelsea with enthusiasm, “Giroud added.

Since moving closer to Stamford Bridge in 2018, Giroud has assumed the role of a coating player. The role he successfully carried out perfectly in the last 2018-19 season.

Last season, he was able to perform nicely in the Europa League with 11 goals and five assists from 14 appearances.  A special note that managed to bring Chelsea to win the Europa League title and has made Giroud entitled to bring home the gold shoe trophy as a top scorer.
