Chelsea forward Olivier Giroud has openly admitted his desires of quitting Stamford Bridge in favor of regular playing time, however, Chelsea hierarchy does not see that happening in January.

The Blues assistant coach Jody Morris addressed the media last night claiming that he does not see Giroud's departure from Chelsea anytime soon. Morris said:

“Well, he still plays for Chelsea."

“It’s got to be for the benefit of the club. We can’t just let people walk out the door if that means we’re left short somewhere."

“Yes, you have to look at the individual as well, but I’ve got to say Giroud’s been nothing but a class act and a top professional since he’s been here, so I don’t envisage any issues from him on that front.”

This sounds nothing less than a confirmed stance from Frank Lampard's team where they will not let Giroud leave unless they manage to sign their long-term forward targets Moussa Dembele or Timo Werner.
