Olivier Giroud wants to stay and fight for his place at Chelsea despite interest from Atletico Madrid.

The Spanish side are looking to add another striker with Paris Saint-Germain's Edinson Cavani and AC Milan's Nikola Kalinic also under consideration.

They have discussed Giroud but the World Cup winner wants to continue at Stamford Bridge.

New Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri is looking to bring in striker Gonzalo Higuain from Juventus

Giroud only moved to Chelsea in January but established himself as first choice under Antonio Conte ahead of Alvaro Morata, scored five goals, and pushed himself back into the France national side.

The 31-year-old, who has promised to shave his head after France won the World Cup, knows Maurizio Sarri wants to bring in Gonzalo Higuain but hopes his Premier League experience can win the new coach over.

The Stamford Bridge side are yet to make a bid but the Italians value Higuain at £53million.

Sarri and Higuain worked together during their time at Napoli for one season in 2015-16
