Lampard said that Giroud was a very important member of his squad this season, adding that he wants the 34-year-old to stay at Chelsea.
The Blues boss said this on Monday during his pre-match press conference ahead of Chelsea’s Champions League clash against Rennes on Tuesday. “Oli is a very important member of our squad. He played a lot of games last year, he will always want to play more, and he is a huge member of the squad for me. I know he will be important for us going forward, so I want Oli to be here and to stay,” Lampard said.
“I have a very good relationship with Oli, and if ever he felt it was going to go a different way, I would happily have that conversation with him. But I want him to stay here.“There is competition in the forward areas at Chelsea. Everyone has to take that one. I saw Oli’s agent’s quotes, and I thought nothing of them. Oli and I have very open conversations. He wants to play. When he doesn’t play, he is an incredible support for the other players. He trains brilliantly, no matter what.
