Olivier Giroud’s new Chelsea contract leaves Marina Granovskaia with two transfer dilemmas

Timo Werner has also been favoured through the middle at times, raising questions on whether Chelsea will still look to sign a top striker this summer.

What Giroud’s renewal also does do though is raise further questions on Tammy Abraham’s future in west London.

The 23-year-old fell down the pecking order under Tuchel and was regularly left out of the matchday squad.

A number of Premier League clubs have been linked with making a move for the striker, who still scored six goals in just 12 league starts.

West Ham remain strongly linked with a move to sign Abraham while Aston Villa have also been touted as possible destinations.

Reports have suggested that Chelsea are hoping to get £40million for Abraham this summer.
