OFFICIAL: Olivier Giroud joins AC Milan on a two-year deal

AC Milan signs Olivier Giroud on a two-year deal.

The French striker joined Chelsea from Arsenal for £18m in January 2018 but the veteran has confirmed his departure from Stamford Bridge on his Twitter wall.

He will be signing a two-year contract with Italian giants AC Milan even after extending his contract with Chelsea by 12 months.

He went on to score 39 goals in 119 appearances for the Blues winning a FA Cup, one Europa League and one Champions League in his three-year spell with the club.

The 34-year old striker featured only eigh times in his last season with the Blues and made his move to the Rossoneri to get more regular game-time.

“To all the Blues, to my team mates, to all my coaches, to the whole club, a huge thank you for these special moments,” Giroud tweeted.

“I’m starting a new journey with a light and happy heart. Our victories in the FA Cup, Europa League and Champions League have been magnificent.”
