Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud has warned manager Frank Lampard he does not want to play second fiddle to Tammy Abraham this season.

The Frenchman was on target for his country in their 4-1 Euro 2020 qualifying win over Albania on Saturday night.

Speaking on international duty, he quashed any retirement talk and told Le Figaro: "Obviously not, I have goals in my head.

"I'm here to help the new generation, but the retirement time has not come. I'm still hungry and have a lot of ambition.

"I don't just want to be Chelsea's No 2 striker, for sure.

"Just because I'm here as an older brother for young people, it doesn't mean I'm out on the sidelines."
