Eden Hazard delighted with new boy Olivier Giroud | OneFootball

Eden Hazard has heaped praise on new Chelsea signing Olivier Giroud, after the pair helped guide the Blues to a win on Monday evening.

The France international made his first start for the west London club this week, as his new side beat West Bromwich Albion 3-0.

And Hazard, who scored two on the night, believes the former Arsenal man can provide the catalyst for change at Stamford Bridge.

“I think he’s a great target man,” Hazard told Sky Sports.

“He has a lot of defenders around him so we are free to play around him, myself, Pedro and Willian.

“He’s a good guy, a good target man and he can score a lot of goals.

“He’s a good point of reference but we have him, we have Álvaro [Morata] and I can also play as a striker.

“We have a good team, we have good players. We have three months to play until the end of the season and we have to give everything to reach our targets.

“When you play for Chelsea the target has to be to win trophies.”
