Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri insists France forward Olivier Giroud will stay at Chelsea next season despite complaining of lack of game time.
Giroud has been linked with a move back to France with Lyon though Chelsea have been banned by FIFA from signing new players for the next two transfer windows for breaking rules related to the signing of overseas youngsters.
