Olivier Giroud said the prospect of Chelsea signing Gonzalo Higuain would "darken" his future at the club prior to the Argentinian's arrival.
The Blues brought in Higuain on loan from Juventus on Wednesday, and in an interview with Canal ahead of the striker's signing, Giroud said it could lead to his departure from Stamford Bridge.
He said (h/t MailOnline's Adam Shergold):
"The coach makes [Eden] Hazard play nine which is detrimental to strikers. But he is the best player I've ever played with.
"If the club decides to get another striker, like Higuain, it will certainly darken my future at Chelsea.
