Chelsea star signs contract extension with the club

Chelsea star Olivier Giroud has signed a new contract extension for the 2019/20 season. Giroud joined the club during the January transfer window in 2018 and has so far made 62 apperances and scored 17 goals. Giroud said: “I am very happy to sign a new contract. I really wanted to stay at least one more year - I have felt a part of the team, the family, since the beginning and hopefully there will be more trophies to come.” Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia added: “We are very pleased that Olivier will be a Chelsea player for another season. Since joining us 18 months ago, he has at times had to be patient and wait for opportunities but has still been able to make a positive contribution to the team. Whether it is his unselfish link-up play or his 10 Europa League goals this season, he has been a crucial member of the squad and we hope he will be able to pick up a second Chelsea winner’s medal in Baku later this month to accompany last season’s FA Cup win.”
