Olivier Giroud says he doesn't regret leaving Arsenal for Chelsea, despite settling for a bench role this season.

The Frenchman is behind Michy Batshuayi and Tammy Abraham in Frank Lampard's forward pecking order.

But the 32-year-old thinks it was a step up joining the Blues from Arsenal two years ago.

"It was not easy to leave Arsenal for Chelsea two years ago. I loved Arsenal," he told Le Pelerin.

"But it was a progression because Chelsea is the English club that has won the most titles, with Manchester City, in ten years.

"I had competitors in attack [Alvaro] Morata, [Gonzalo] Higuain, who ended up leaving. I won at the end: I played the final of the FA Cup in 2018 and the [Europa League] final in 2019.

"Once again, I'm starting the year in difficulty, but as my brother said, I have always built myself in the face of adversity. Although I would like there to be less!"
