Chelsea star Tammy Abraham reveals team-mate Giroud has been doing ‘extra shooting practice’ in bid to win over Lampard – The Sun

TAMMY ABRAHAM has revealed that Olivier Giroud has been doing extra shooting practice after training sessions.

The French striker, 33, is on a mission to prove himself to Frank Lampard after being heavily linked with a move away from the club last month.

It was reported that Chelsea were willing to let him leave last month if they completed a deal for Napoli's Dries Mertens.

Lazio were said to have agreed to sign him, but Tottenham and Inter Milan had also indicated their interest.

He was absent for Chelsea's 2-2 draw with Leicester on Saturday – but Lampard claimed it had nothing to do with his failure to leave the club.

And Giroud has been putting extra hours in at Cobham in order battle his way back into the Chelsea first-team.
