France striker Olivier Giroud admits he has 'always liked the MLS' in a potential transfer hint five months before his AC Milan contract expires.

Giroud, 36, has spent the last 18 months with Milan after calling time on his successful three-and-a-half-year spell at Chelsea, where he claimed the Champions League, Europa League and FA Cup.

He has produced a return of 23 goals in 62 appearances for the Italian club, while playing an integral role in their first Serie A title triumph for over a decade last season.

Yet with his current deal up in the summer, as things stand the 2018 World Cup winner is set to become a free agent at the end of the 2022-23 campaign, meaning speculation over his next move is beginning to intensify.
