#8 Olivier Giroud - Chelsea

Olivier Giroud is a valuable option to have for any club.

Olivier Giroud is known across the Premier League as being an average goalscorer, but that's not the case. Arsenal and Chelsea fans will know all about the ability he possesses, and most importantly, his undeniable goal scoring threat.

He's a tall striker, which enables him to play as the target man. Often winning the aerial duels with his defensive oppositions is what he does best, whether that be to nod the ball home or lay it on a plate for his oncoming attackers.

He's not quite the striker Maurizio Sarri would want, in fairness. With Mauro Icardi rumoured to be a January target for Chelsea, Giroud may look elsewhere. As he is getting on a bit, ageing at 32, he will want to get some minutes on the board while he still can.

Chelsea won't get a lot of money for Giroud, so if they aren't looking to renew his contract, then they should consider selling him in January.
