OLIVIER GIROUD believes Antonio Conte’s ‘tactical philosophy’ will help him flourish at Chelsea.
France striker Giroud completed a stunning £18m move from Arsenal to Chelsea on transfer deadline day, penning an 18-month deal at Stamford Bridge.
Blues boss Conte wanted a new striker throughout the January window and will likely hand Giroud his debut against Watford on Monday.

The 31-year-old is excited to work under the Italian chief and reckons he’ll enjoy being part of the Chelsea team.
He said: “I don’t know him very well but I like the positive energy he brings from the side of the pitch, always supporting his players, talking to them.
I think communication is massive in football and in all sports in general. For me the relationship you have with the coach is very important.
“His tactical philosophy is very good because he is Italian. Chelsea is a strong team defensively and they are quite efficient up front with great players, so I think I will enjoy it.”
