According to the veteran striker, the end to his time at Stamford Bridge was "too difficult" but he felt the time had come to leave the club under the management of Thomas Tuchel.

Giroud managed just three Premier League starts under Tuchel from when the German joined in January.

Speaking on his time in the English topflight, the former Arsenal striker admitted he still had fond memories from his spell in the Premier League - but not under Tuchel in the final months of his Chelsea career.

"I really liked the Premier League, but you get to a point where a decision has to be made," Giroud told Telefoot, via Get French Football News.

"My last three months over there – and this I said to the manager, Tuchel – were too difficult. It seemed evident that I had to leave the club," he added.
