OLIVIER GIROUD NEWS

Moves to Milan Giroud has signed a two-year contract with Milan upon transferring on a permanent deal from Chelsea.

Impact Giroud had his expiring contract automatically renewed by Chelsea in June, but he will move anyway for a small fee. He will likely see more minutes with Milan, where he will alternate and occasionally play next to Zlatan Ibrahimovic. He scored ten goals, adding 39 shots and seven created chances in 25 matches last season (ten starts).

Extends Chelsea contract Giroud signed a one-year contract extension with Chelsea on Friday.

Impact Giroud only made 17 appearances in the Premier League but his six goals scored in eight UCL matches were integral to his club's eventual success in continental competition and helped to extend his stay at Stamford Bridge. He's also with France for the Euros, but the presence of Karim Benzema means there's less of a need for Giroud's physicality in the national side.

Limited role to close campaign Giroud played 27 minutes in the final month of the season, 25 of them coming in the loss to Arsenal.

Impact Giroud got a couple starts under Thomas Tuchel early in his tenure, but his role quickly diminished.
