Olivier Giroud Completes AC Milan Transfer From Chelsea

A Milan statement read: “AC Milan is delighted to announce the signing of Olivier Jonathan Giroud on a permanent transfer from Chelsea FC.

“The French striker will be wearing the No 9 jersey.”

Upon his arrival at Chelsea from Arsenal in 2018, Giroud said: “My ambition is to win some trophies. That’s why I am playing football. I am a competitor and I want to win again and again.”

And that is exactly what he did – bagging winner’s medals in the FA Cup, Europa League and Champions League.

In an affectionate statement on their website, the Blues documented his career and said: “Olivier ends his time in London SW6 with 119 appearances, 59 as a sub, and 39 goals to his name, as well as those three trophy wins.

“We thank him greatly for his service and wish him the very best in his future career.”
