- Giroud, Alonso and Pedro are all staring at an uncertain future at Chelsea
- The trio has fallen down the pecking order under Frank Lampard and are now said to be eyeing exit
- However, they will not be short of options, with Giroud and Alonso both linked with a switch to Italy
Chelsea could face the challenge of keeping Olivier Giroud, Marcos Alonso and Pedro beyond January after the trio falling out of favour under Frank Lampard.
The Blues have been given the greenlight to sign new players during the winter transfer window after the club was successful in their appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport to reduce their ban.
Metro UK reports Lampard could be handed a massive £150million transfer kitty to add more depth to his squad.
Lampard is already understood to be keen on several signings, including Leicester City’s Ben Chilwell.
Arrival of new signings could see Giroud, Alonso and Pedro fall further in the pecking order under the Englishman's set up.
It is for this reason the three are said could explore the option of leaving in search for more game play.
Alonso has not been included in Chelsea’s last five Premier League matchday squads, and is said to have grown unhappy at Stamford Bridge.
Giroud and Pedro have not found it rosy either, with the attacking duo managing just nine appearances in the Premier League this season between them.
With both their contracts expiring next summer, the pair will be free to speak to other clubs in January over a possible switch.
Meanwhile, Inter are said to be keen on a move for Alonso, while Pedro has been tipped for a move to America.
Giroud, on the other hand has been linked with several clubs in Italy and Major League Soccer.
