The former Arsenal striker’s future was in doubt over the summer, and with the January window approaching, rumors about the player’s potential departure from Stamford Bridge are already doing the rounds.
The Frenchman has been advised by many football pundits to leave Chelsea to find regular playing time. Giroud is supposedly reconsidering his future at the club as well. However, Merson believes that the Frenchman should stay put at Stamford Bridge.
