Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante is counting on Olivier Giroud to hit the ground running.

The former Arsenal striker is expected to make his debut against Watford on Monday night.

"I know Olivier Giroud from the French national team," said Kante.

"We all know what he did at Arsenal. He's a good striker who can score many goals. Emerson I don't know well, but from what I have heard he is a good player.

"We hope they can bring something to the team and help us achieve something this season and in the future."
