Giroud's 33-year contract linked him to the Blues until June 2020 with an option of an additional year. Arrived at Chelsea in winter 2018, The French had a long crossing of the desert there which pushed him to try to leave the club, but he returned to grace in early 2020 despite the stiff competition in attack.
