Olivier Giroud admits he's spoken to Laurent Koscielny about his plans at Chelsea.

Giroud has revealed that former Arsenal teammate Koscielny has given him some career advice as he ponders his Chelsea future.

In an interview with Telefoot he said: “I have a lot of desire and freshness, and what makes a career last is also the head.

“We would like things to be a little easier, but we grow through adversity.

“And as my buddy [Laurent] Koscielny often says: 'I am the best when my back is against the wall'."

Koscienly is now with Bordeaux in France.
