Olivier Giroud reveals his first thought after training with Chelsea team-mate Eden Hazard

Former Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud  has admitted he was left cursing to himself after struggling to tackle Eden Hazard during his first training session at Chelsea. The striker made a switch from Arsenal to Chelsea during the summer transfer window.

'When I discover Eden Hazard in training for my first session at Chelsea. I told myself: "F***ing hell, it's hard to get the ball off him",' Giroud told French daily newspaper Le Figaro.

'Sometimes, there's two or three players around him and he still manages to get out in tight spaces.

'He's a magician, he's impressive. Now, I've started to know him and I don't find myself near him. It's better for him and for me.'

Currently Giroud has started in 9 games and has 4 assists.
