Olivier Giroud is a 'conundrum' for Chelsea manager Frank Lampard claims Graeme Le Saux, as he believes the club want a striker with 'pace and power' despite the Frenchman's goal in draw against Aston Villa

Graeme Le Saux says Olivier Giroud has the best 'striker's instinct' at Chelsea, though believes the Frenchman is a 'conundrum' for manager Frank Lampard.

The 34-year-old netted his third goal in his last four games for the Blues, during a 1-1 draw with Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge.

Giroud continues to impress Lampard, when at one stage last season, it looked like the Chelsea legend did not have the French striker in his plans at all.
