Giroud left Stamford Bridge for San Siro over the summer, with a nine-year spell in English football brought to a close. As far as club servants go, Olivier Giroud was one of the best around for Chelsea during his time at the club.He was adored by Blues fans and was decisive in so many games helping Chelsea be successful and win trophies.
Explaining to newsmen why he took the decision to swap London for Milan, Giroud said: “I liked the Premier League, but at some point, I had to make a decision.
“I told [Thomas] Tuchel that the last three months had been too difficult.
“It was an obvious choice to leave Chelsea, I moved on with great emotion for all the moments we experienced. Some were good, some others not so much, but we won three important titles.”
He walked away with FA Cup, Europa League and Champions League triumphs to his name, but with fierce competition for places in west London forcing him to accept that a fresh start had to be made at 34 years of age.
More so, the France international has linked up with another veteran goalscorer in the form of 39-year-old Swedish star Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and Giroud believes title glory is a realistic target for an ambitious Rossoneri squad.
He added: “Zlatan is a legend and there will be a real competition between us.
“I can score at least 15 goals, that’s what I hope. If I play every game, that’s what I expect.
