Chelsea FC news: Olivier Giroud explains why leaving Arsenal in January transfer window was easy

Olivier Giroud said he didn't have to think twice about leaving Arsenal for London rivals Chelsea in January, calling the decision 'easy'.

After all, they are the best team in the country, according to the striker.

Speaking to The Sun, the 31-year-old said: “I am at the best club in England in recent years because Chelsea have won more trophies than anyone else.”

Since Roman Abramovich became owner of the club in 2003, the Blues have won the Premier League five times, the FA Cup on four occasions, while they have also triumphed in both the Europa League and the Champions League.
