Chelsea will trigger Giroud contract extension, says Maurizio Sarri

Maurizio Sarri says Chelsea will activate a clause to extend Olivier Giroud's contract for another year to keep the France international at the club next season.

Giroud has spoken about his discontent over a lack of game time, and he has been linked with a move back to Ligue 1 to both Lyon and Marseille.

However, Sarri was pretty clear that he will keep the 31-year-old for another year, as his impressive run of six goals in five starts for club and country sees him making an impact at the end of the season.
