When Olivier Giroud left Chelsea last summer he can't have imagined the changes that would happen in the aftermath. What hasn't happened?
There was the £97.5million effective replacement of the Frenchman, that went wrong, the brief but faulty title charge, the rapid sale of the club amid government sanctions and war accusations, new owners have come in and stripped the club's structure back to basics and now Thomas Tuchel isn't their either.
A lot of Giroud's teammates remain, but some have moved on after a summer of change with over £250million spent on new players. The 36-year-old saw plenty of upheaval in his time at Stamford Bridge, but it fell short of this summer's overhaul.
