#3. Olivier Giroud
Chelsea have a number of senior players currently over the age of 30 that could leave for nothing in July. Giroud initially signed an 18-month deal after joining from Arsenal. Even though he has not been hitting the back of the net often, his link-up play has been brilliant. He was also instrumental in France’s World Cup success in Russia.
With the Blues enduring a crisis in the strikers' department majorly due to Morata’s poor form in front of goal, they are in the market for a new marksman. Maurizio Sarri has lauded Giroud’s contribution to the team on a number of occasions, and it would be a real surprise if he is not offered a contract extension.
