Olivier Giroud: 'I should have more Chelsea goals'

Olivier Giroud says that he should have scored more goals for Chelsea since making the move to Stamford Bridge during the January transfer window.

Olivier Giroud has admitted that he is disappointed with his return of one goal in eight appearances for Chelsea.

During the January transfer window, Giroud left Arsenal for the Blues and although the French international has been involved on a regular basis, the forward's only goal has come in the FA Cup against Hull City.

However, Giroud is happy with how he has adapted to life at Stamford Bridge, suggesting that he is enjoying the challenge of playing for a new club.

The 31-year-old told L'Equipe: "I am happy with my adaptation, the welcome I received, and the relationship on the ground with my teammates.

"You have to be demanding with yourself. If I signed to Chelsea, it's to have a new challenge. When you sign like that in January, it's never easy because you have to acclimatise to your team, but I really wanted to be ready right away. It was a little paradoxical.

"I could have - should have - scored more goals. In terms of statistics, I am very attached to this; I remain stuck at one goal and three assists in five matches. I'm sure it is not enough.

"But, in any case, the content is very encouraging. In time I will do it. It's encouraging in my relationship with offensive players; whether with Willian, Pedro or Eden Hazard."

Giroud will be hoping to feature when Chelsea host Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on April 1.
