Chelsea trigger Olivier Giroud’s contract extension

Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud has been linked with a move away from the club for a while now.

The £110,000-a-week Frenchman has fallen out of favour at Stamford Bridge and he needs to leave the club in order to play regular first-team football.

However, it seems that he will be playing for Chelsea next season.

As per the reliable Gianluca Di Marzio, the Premier League club have triggered a one-year extension on his contract until the summer of 2021.

Giroud is a fantastic option off the bench and Chelsea will certainly be a stronger team with him.
