Olivier Giroud is eager to stay in west London for the foreseeable future with the in-form Frenchman aiming to secure a new contract at Chelsea.
The World Cup winner looked a certain January transfer window exit after the 33-year-old grew frustrated with a lack of game time with the Premier League club.
A move to join Inter Milan was very close to materialising while a switch to arch rivals Tottenham was on the cards before Chelsea pulled the plug on both deals having failed to sign a replacement.
However, owing to the injury of Tammy Abraham, Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has had to call on Giroud to lead the line and the Frenchman has turned in some standout performances.
