Chelsea: Lampard says he is ‘excited’ to sign Werner
Olivier Giroud has revealed exactly what the Chelsea strikers think of Frank Lampard's decision to sign Timo Werner in a £47million deal with RB Leipzig.
Lampard will have a selection headache next season when Hakim Ziyech and Werner arrive at Stamford Bridge.
A large number of attacking options will be available to the Chelsea boss meaning Tammy Abraham will no longer be guaranteed a starting spot.
Back-up forward Giroud, who has penned a one-year contract extension, will only fall further down the pecking order.
But the Frenchman believes the squad are buzzing with the extra quality which has been added to their rank and insists it will only be a boost for the entire team.
Giroud said: “He is going to be a very good signing and more motivation for strikers.”
