Frank Lampard’s comment on Olivier Giroud is a boost for West Ham and Aston Villa

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has insisted that Olivier Giroud could leave the London club in the January transfer window.

The 97-times capped French striker has dropped down the pecking order at the club behind Tammy Abraham and Michy Batshuayi, and has started just two games this season.

The former Arsenal striker is inside the final six months of his Chelsea contract, and the Blues are looking to offload him now in the January window.

“There’s no update on Ollie, but I’ve spoken with him,” Lampard said of Giroud, as quoted by Sky Sports.
