Fan told there is no way Lampard will let Giroud leave Chelsea in January window

Pat Nevin says there is no way Chelsea are going to part with Olivier Giroud, who has hit an “astonishing” run of form.

Despite the fact that Giroud was a major player for the club last season in their quest to get back into those top four spots, there has been constant speculation about his long-term future at the club as he simply has not been a regular this season.

However, Giroud scored yet again making if five goals in the space of a week, scoring four against Sevilla and the equaliser in the 3-1 win against Leeds, and is fast becoming a big part of the side for Frank Lampard.

And Nevin believes that will bring any exit talk to a close, despite Giroud admitting that he may have to mull over his options, with the only headache facing the club now being how to avoid burning out an in-form frontman.

“The phenomenal week Olivier Giroud has had contains another bunch of reasons to be cheerful,” former Blues winger Nevin told the club’s official website

“Just a few weeks ago I had people asking me whether Olivier would stay with the club after the January window. This question is asked before nearly every January window to be fair, but I think we all know what the answer is after his five-goal haul in four days.

“His form is astonishing and after wondering for a while how he was going to get enough game time, the question is suddenly reversed, because he is so important to the cause. How do we now make sure he is not overused?

“I did some analysis on him before the Sevilla game. I have talked for many years, without embarrassment and even when he was at Arsenal, about him being the best near-post striker in the world. Well, the hat-trick goal against Sevilla and the first goal versus Leeds just underlined this point for about the 100th time.”
