The French international has only once scored for the Blues this season, and his chances of being part of the first team should be limited by Higuain's arrival.
Olivier Giroud, the Chelsea striker, could return to France after the signing of Gonzalo Higuain by the Blues
The French international has struggled for his goals since helping his country win the Russian World Cup in summer this summer, and has scored only once this season for the club in the league.
The Blues are about to unload his compatriot Alvaro Morata soon on Atletico Madrid, but the club has finally concluded on Wednesday a long-awaited deal with Higuain, the Juventus striker, who has questioned the Future of Giroud at Stamford Bridge.

"I will never do unanimous things to make people happy with me," Giroud said in an interview for the French television channel Cbad shortly before Higuain's decision was confirmed.
"There is a little bit of regret and frustration. The public expects a scorer to score goals. I am the fourth best scorer in French football and nobody can take it away. "
Chelsea point guard Maurizio Sarri sometimes called on Eden Hazard as central striker, which shows the deterioration of the manager's confidence in Giroud and Morata.
And Higuain's signature could mark the end of Giroud's seven-year stay in England.
"The coach plays Hazard nine times, which is detrimental for scorers," said the Frenchman. "But he is the best player with whom I played.
"If the club decides to recruit another striker, like Higuain, it will certainly darken my future in Chelsea.
"I never said no to a return to France. Lyon and Marseille are two big clubs. My priority is to stay in the Premier League however. "

Higuain made his debut in Chelsea's 3-0 win over Sheffield on Wednesday at Stamford Bridge on Sunday night.
Two goals from Willian and a striker, Callum Hudson-Odoi, were enough to silence the cup holder beyond the championship and in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
It remains to be seen if this will be the last match of Hudson-Odoi in shirt of Chelsea. The striker reportedly invited Bayern Munich to offer the 18-year-old Bundesliga player.
