'When he plays, he delivers': Thierry Henry showers praise on Olivier Giroud

Henry told Goal: “In the past three or four years it seems like he’s struggling for starts with his team at club level, but whenever he plays – whether it’s at club level or in the national team – he often delivers.

Olivier is the type of striker that is kind of dying right now. The old school, holding the ball up, passing the ball to the winger, getting into the box and breaking your neck to score with a header.

“But what I like is how he puts people in a game. He’s very good, he will give the assist sometimes when you link up with him on a one-two”

Giroud will likely leave the Blues this coming summer as he searches for game-time but he has been an excellent servant for Chelsea, especially during their Champions League run this season.

The Frenchman will join N'Golo Kante with the French national side before that, with the duo hoping to add another European trophy to their collection.
