Chelsea legend Ron Harris believes that Olivier Giroud is the man to provide goalscoring support to Eden Hazard, according to a report on Goal.
Harris admitted that he enjoys the link up play between Giroud and Hazard and believes that it suits Chelsea better than with Morata up front.
The Spaniard is having a torrid time in front of goal and after missing a host of chances in the Europa League, he missed a crucial chance once again late on against West Ham.
The ball simply won’t go into the back of the net for the former Real Madrid forward and Harris believes that he could find it difficult to get back into the team ahead of Giroud.
He said:
[Giroud] seems to link up better with Eden Hazard. The other lad Morata is desperate for goals. He’s had some good opportunities and missed them, and when sometimes when the luck is going with you, you can mishit a shot and it goes in.
This fella seems to miss some unbelievable chances and I just feel he’s lacking in a bit of confidence at the moment. The one that seems to be thriving with Eden Hazard is Giroud.
Morata managed to score 15 times for Chelsea in all competitions last season but he has only found the back of the net once so far this term.
Giroud’s hold up play and physicality allows Hazard to make darting runs ahead of the striker, putting him into better goalscoring positions.
