Chelsea manager Frank Lampard is delighted Olivier Giroud’s contract has been renewed until the end of next season.

The Blues boss said: “Since I have been back at Chelsea, Olivier has been brilliant as a professional and as a man in general.

“He has great qualities to help the squad both on and off the pitch, not only with his talent but with the example he sets every day and the experience he brings to our young squad.

“I am very pleased that will continue next season.”
