Olivier Giroud has turned his Chelsea fortunes around after a frustrating start to the season And according to Football London, talks have begun to see if an extension can be found past this summer - when his current deal runs out. Chelsea's starting position would likely be to offer the French World Cup winner a new one-year contract - in line with their policy regarding older players. The Frenchman had been playing second fiddle to Tammy Abraham earlier in the campaign However, it is not yet clear whether 33-year-old Giroud would accept this short-term offer and instead hold out for a longer deal.
