OFFICIAL: Olivier Giroud joins AC Milan

Olivier Giroud is now a new AC Milan player, who, after 10 seasons in the Premier League, will make his debut in Italian football. He will do so at Milan, who have won Serie A 15 times, but have not won it since the 2010-11 season.

There he will form an attacking partnership with Zlatan Ibrahimovich. The Italian club will count on a lethal attacking duo with a lot of experience, who will both fight to score as many goals as possible and help Milan win all the titles they can. 

Giroud has already won almost everything there is to win in England: Champions League, Europa League, FA Cup, etc. At the age of 34 he has played a total of 660 games, 255 in the Premier League, between Arsenal and Chelsea. He has also been selected for France 117 times, scoring 46 goals in total and winning the 2018 World Cup. The French striker has said goodbye to his team with a message on his social networks thanking his teammates and the 'Blues' fans.

Paolo Maldini already confirmed his signing a few days ago and said this about him: "He's a champion, not only with the national team, he's done great things with Chelsea, won the Champions League", he said. "He's a very reliable player and that's what we're looking for. We have a young team and we need players with this experience."

The seven-times Champions League winners are trying to shape their squad after the departure of Donnarumma. Last season they finished runners-up 12 points behind Inter who won the 'Scudetto', but at least they qualified for Champions League after seven seasons without playing in their favourite competition. Their last match was in March 2013, when they lost 4-0 to Barca in the last-16. 

With Giroud, Milan will try to win some titles at the end of the season. That's why they have signed a striker who has just won a Champions League and who has won a lot of titles over the course of his career. And that's exactly what they need at the San Siro, who haven't seen Milan win a title since the Italian Super Cup in 2017.
