Olivier Giroud’s career would be best served by leaving Chelsea in January, according to the striker’s boss at international level, Didier Deschamps.
In spite of criticism at times, Deschamps has been a huge supporter of Giroud throughout his career, with the former Arsenal forward having been a long-time member of the coach’s favoured starting XI.
Conversely, the 33-year-old, who has 97 caps for his country and 39 goals, finds himself out of the picture at Stamford Bridge, where he has failed to win the trust of Frank Lampard, who has instead opted for Tammy Abraham to feature as the focal point to the attack.
