Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud is adamant he made the right decision to quit Arsenal in January.

Giroud swapped the Gunners for Premier League champions Chelsea on the final day of the winter transfer window as he sought out regular playing time.

Asked whether he felt it was right to leave Arsenal for Chelsea in January, Giroud told reporters at the Camp Nou: "Yes, definitely.

"I am settling in quite well. I am very pleased with my understanding with the boys. Obviously, not everything is perfect but I try to be that target man that the boss asks me to be.

"To be a link with the number 10s, tonight it was Eden [Hazard] and Willy [Willian]. It is not easy to sign in winter for a new club so I try to adapt myself as quickly as I can.

"I think there's always room for improvement but I am quite happy with what we are doing on the pitch. We have good team cohesion. I think if we play with the spirit we did tonight we can achieve got things at the end of the championship.

"I want to be at my best level now, I am working hard in training to be ready. Of course, sometimes you can close your eyes and score and sometimes the goal gets smaller like the other game [Crystal Palace].

"Trust me, I keep working hard and I am doing my best to reach my targets. So you can count on me to do my best, to be at my best level as soon as I can."
