Olivier Giroud has warned Chelsea he will not think twice about leaving unless he gets more game time after France boss Didier Deschamps and ex-PSG manager Luis Fernandez are putting pressure on him to quit the London club in January.

He came off the bench to score in France’s Euro 2020 qualifier against Turkey on Monday night, which was his third goal in four matches for France.

The 33-year-old has made just three appearances in the Premier League this season.

Giroud said: “I’m going to fight for my place at Chelsea and we will take stock of the situation in January.

“If you ask me whether I want to leave I’ll say ‘not necessarily’ – but other things enter the equation.

“I cannot be happy with what I have at the moment. I am 33 but I still have several good years left in me.

“I still have the legs and a profile that I think will enable me to keep playing at the top level.”

Speaking to Europe 1, Fernadez said: “I think he’ll leave Chelsea in the winter. He has to leave.

“If he doesn’t find himself a new club, it could get complicated for him.

“He needs to play and have rhythm.”

In the same vein, Deschamps insists a lack of game time with Chelsea is damaging Giroud’s international chances.

“Olivier suffers because of his situation. Before January, nothing will move,” Deschamps said.

“After, it will be up to him to see. I hope he will have more playing time.

“But we cannot take away his goals, his good performances. He scores, he makes others play well.

“He knows he is under pressure, but he always responds.”
