Chelsea have completed the signing of olivier giroud

The Frenchman’s agent arrived in London on Wednesday morning to thrash out the final details of the deal taking him to Stamford Bridge on an 18-month deal for an undisclosed fee, believed to be around £18m.

His move to Chelsea was confirmed hours after Arsenal completed a club-record transfer for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Borussia Dortmund.

Speaking to Chelsea’s official website, Giroud said:-

“Chelsea is one of the biggest teams in the Premier League. They have won maybe the most trophies in the last six or seven years.

It’s a massive club and I am proud to sign for Chelsea and being among them, and I’m looking forward to playing.”
