Giroud arrives in Italy for AC Milan medical ahead of €2m move from Chelsea

Olivier Giroud has arrived in Italy to undergo his medical before completing a move to AC Milan.

Technical director Paolo Maldini confirmed that the Chelsea striker would make the switch official this week.

Milan reached an agreement to sign the France international from Chelsea for €2 million last week.

What has happened?

The 34-year-old was recorded arriving at Milan to have a medical examination to clear him up for a move to the Serie A outfit.

Giroud will add some much-needed experience to the Rossoneri attack, as Maldini said this week.

"He is a very reliable player, what we were looking for, since we need experienced players like him.
