Why Frank Lampard really needs to replace Olivier Giroud

As the days tick on, Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud is getting closer and closer to completing his move to Inter.

As reported by the reliable Fabrizio Romano, Giroud will join his former Chelsea coach Antonio Conte in Serie A for £6 million.

Chelsea will then be left with Tammy Abraham, and Michy Batshuayi as their only recognised strikers. As fatigued sets in and the risk of injuries increase, it will be a risk that I don’t want to see Lampard taking if he decides not to replace Giroud.

Not only that, the form of Batshuayi has been poor, and he doesn’t look like he could step up if Abraham was injured or suspended.

But Lampard has said they do not need a replacement for him. Sorry Frank, I disagree.

Gaining Champions League football this season is hugely important financially, and being able to attract players in the summer.

Not replacing Giroud will play a part in risking not getting top 4, I think that statement is hard to disagree with.
