Chelsea boss Frank Lampard insists he and Olivier Giroud have a good relationship.

Lampard also insists he will consider allowing Giroud to leave in January should a transfer request be made.

He said, “I have a very good relationship with Oli.

"If one day he wants to take another path then I would happily have this conversation with him, but I want him to stay here and we will be very open on either side if that changes, but for now he remains very important for me."
