Giroud i did everything to try leave chelsea in january

An interesting revelation!

According to a recent interview with Olivier Giroud, the French striker has revealed that he tried to leave Chelsea in January 2020, but ultimately failed to secure a transfer away from the club.

Giroud, who has been a bit-part player at Chelsea since joining the club in 2018, has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter under Frank Lampard. Despite his impressive goal-scoring record in the Premier League, Giroud has found himself behind Tammy Abraham and Michy Batshuayi in the pecking order.

In an interview with French newspaper L'Équipe, Giroud revealed that he had been seeking a move away from Chelsea in January, but was unable to find a suitable opportunity.

"I did everything to leave Chelsea in January," Giroud said. "I was not playing, I was not happy, and I wanted to leave. But it didn't happen. I was stuck."

Giroud's comments suggest that he may have been frustrated with his lack of playing time at Chelsea and was eager to secure a more prominent role at another club. However, it appears that he was unable to find a suitable opportunity during the January transfer window.

It will be interesting to see what the future holds for Giroud, who still has a year left on his contract at Chelsea. Will he be able to secure a more regular starting spot under Lampard, or will he be forced to consider a move away from the club once again? Only time will tell.
