Olivier Giroud is not leaving, Lampard says as Chelsea fail to make new signings

“Olivier Giroud in this window has been incredible as a professional and as a man,” said Lampard.

“We all know there has been interest.

“I’ve sat here at every press conference and said ‘If it’s right for Olivier, for myself and the club’, and he’s been impeccable in that period.

“I’ve got huge respect for him as a player.

“The answer again is no. As in, will he leave? No.”

Chelsea have been linked with Dries Mertens and Edinson Cavani but Lampard is not expecting to make any signings.

Lampard said:

“The window is 95 per cent shut for us, the answer will be no to any players you say.

“And no ins, means no outs.”

“It’s clear we wanted to bring players in, I certainly wanted to bring players in.

“I think I made that pretty clear over the last few weeks and it hasn’t happened.”
