Olivier Giroud has revealed he has received offers from other clubs, casting doubt over his future at Chelsea.
The France striker is second-choice at Stamford Bridge, behind January arrival Gonzalo Higuain, and he has been left disappointed due to a lack of first-team opportunities.

Giroud is the Europa League’s top scorer
He has started only seven Premier League games this season, with most of his appearances coming in the Europa League or as a substitute.
Giroud’s current deal expires this summer unless the Blues activate a one-year extension clause – and assistant manager Gianfranco Zola says the club want him to sign a long-term contract.
But the 32-year-old World Cup winner is not short of alternative options and could be tempted by the prospect of regular first-team football.

“I am frustrated when not on the pitch, but I just don’t want to show it,” Giroud said on Wednesday, ahead of Chelsea’s Europa League quarter-final second leg against Slavia Prague.
“I am not happy to be the second striker. I don’t know [if I will be here next season] you have to speak to Marina [Granovskaia]. I want to enjoy my football. It must be decided by the end of the season.
“Yes [I have received offers from other clubs] but I cannot tell you yet. I am focused on Chelsea.”
