​Chelsea hero Hasselbaink: Abraham should learn from Giroud

Chelsea legend Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink believes youngster Tammy Abraham could learn a thing or two from Olivier Giroud.

The veteran Frenchman is often the man Frank Lampard has picked as his starting striker in the Premier League run in.

He popped up with a goal to give his side three points against Norwich City on Monday night.

And Hasselbaink thinks Abraham can learn a lot from the 33-year-old Frenchman.

"They are two different players," the Chelsea legend told Premier League Productions.

"What Abraham has to learn, look at him (Giroud)... he brings other players in, he makes other players look better.

"For me, he (Giroud) needs to score more goals. At times he can be more selfish but what he does and brings to the team is an outlet and that outlet the majority of the time is very secure.

"With Abraham at times – especially in the last few matches – it's been erratic. At the beginning of the season, he was brilliant and it's normal because it's his first year at Chelsea at a high level.

"There will always be a difficult time for him and that's what's happening now. Giroud has been brilliant, a breath of fresh air."
