Olivier Giroud reveals why he is 'a bit jealous' of some of his Chelsea teammates

The striker finished last season by winning the FA Cup and World Cup

Olivier Giroud has revealed that his "last dream as a footballer" is to lift the Premier League trophy.

Moving to the Blues from Arsenal last January, the Frenchman capped off the season by lifting the FA Cup and then helping his country to World Cup glory in Russia.

Winning the FA Cup three times during his spell with the Gunners, the closest the 32-year-old came to lifting the league title was when Arsene Wenger's side finished 10 points behind Leicester City in the 2015/16 season.

With Chelsea an astonishing 30 points off league champions Man City last season, they are certainly in with a shout this season following a promising start under Maurizio Sarri.

As a number of players in the Chelsea dressing room have lifted the title in the past, Giroud has revealed that he is a "bit jealous" of some of his teammates.

"I prefer to be at a big club rather than playing every week in a less prestigious team and I still have targets," he told the Guardian .

"To win a Premier League is my last dream as a footballer, maybe more than winning a Champions League, because I know how tough it is to win this league.

"I have teammates here who have won it, so I’m a bit jealous. I want to make it happen.

"Look, I know we lost at Wolves but we beat Manchester City, so don’t count on me to give up on that dream just yet. I don’t want to end with any regrets."
