Olivier Giroud has signed a new one-year contract with
Chelsea to extend his stay at Stamford Bridge until the end of next season, the
English Premier League club said on Tuesday.
The 32-year-old French striker has scored 17 goals in 62
appearances for Chelsea since joining from Arsenal in January 2018.
“I am very happy to sign a new contract,” Giroud told the
club’s website.
“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.”
France international Giroud is Europa League’s joint top
scorer this season with 10 goals.
He is the first Chelsea player to hit double figures for
goals in a single season of European football.
Chelsea face Giroud’s former club Arsenal in an all-English
final on May 29.
