Frank Lampard insists he hasn't considered the possibility of using Olivier Giroud as a makeweight in a deal to bring Wilfried Zaha to Chelsea.
Chelsea are free to sign players in the January window after their transfer ban was lifted and are keen on Zaha as they look to bring in long-term replacements for Willian and Pedro.
Palace will not budge from their £80million valuation of their talisman however, with reports on Wednesday suggesting the Blues could offer Giroud to Palace to try and get a deal done.
Giroud has started just two games this season and has been advised to leave Stamford Bridge in search of greater first-team football opportunities by France coach Didier Deschamps.
But Lampard insists no such arrangement with Palace has been discussed.
“I wouldn't talk about Zaha and the idea of that deal is something I've not considered,” Lampard said following Chelsea's 1-1 draw with Brighton.
“I won't talk about Zaha because he's not a player of ours.
“If we have to do business we'll do it in the way we see fit to try to make us better, but we'll do that behind closed doors as opposed to just announcing what we want to do.”

Zaha is a very good player and can play on both wings but 80M seems too high. Swapping with Giroud makes sense. Zyech would be a better choice. A classic left-footer with dribbling and crossing skills. We should not forget our dire need for a good left full back.

No need for Zaha. What Chelsea needs is a serious goal scoring threat, not another player like Mount with 1 goal in 10 or 15 games
mount iz good we juct need a goal score

Chelsea don't need Zaha, his game is too stylish and sluggish. Chelsea should go for Adama Troure

chelsea true target is 1.sancho 2.timo 3.coutinho 4.Bruno fernandes 5.zaha sancho 120m timo 40m coutinho 70-80m Bruno 50m zaha 80m timo and bruno just 110m and they play suitable for chelsea coutinho suitable to sancho to high price tag and better chelsea sign sterling. zaha,price tag to high and any other player know ,they can read how zaha playing bcause this is epl.. better chelsea buy timo and bruno..not really expensive and good for bisnes .

Zaha is at best a Willian replacement, we need a player better than Willian. I'm talking Ziyech, Sancho, Coutinho etc. Chelsea need 1 star player preferably in the number 10 position as we have plenty of wingers and that 10 position lacks class. Ziyech in the 10 would take this team to new levels.

Really good deal for Chelsea.. Given that Zaha is a very capable forward.. Extraordinary dribbling and takeons.. It may turn out profitable for the blues

Don’t bother with Zaha just your average player. You need to get Willian to sign a long term contract. He still makes and scores goals, is as fast as any man on the pitch and does his share of defending. Just make sure you keep him as he would be sadly missed!

Lampard please consider the deal before we got annoyed,think how we fans felt when we keep losing because of poor players career.we need already made players to solve our problems both in defense and attacking all through

Well said coach but we the fans re not happy with the inconsistent win, odoi is doing nothing and your knew it, I see no reason why your should replaced paulisic with him, its wrong, we know he mises chances as well but he is far better than odoi with the Ball. We have Pedro fit, not injured and still you haven't told us why he's not playing, review you plan earlier because we are dying impatience.
