The best French player in the national team returns to Europe
The Federal News Service reported that the French forward, who is the most productive scorer in the history of the French national team, is leaving the American football club and will soon return to the European arena. This decision came as a surprise not only to the fans of "Los Angeles", but also to the wider football community, since Giroud made a great contribution to the development of the team and was its key figure over the past year. On Monday, the club's official website published a message announcing the end of cooperation with the 38-year-old striker. Olivier Giroud signed a contract with "Los Angeles" in May last year and during this time played in 18 matches in various tournaments, scoring three goals and making two assists. A farewell game is planned in his honor - a meeting with Vancouver, which will take place on the night of June 30, where all fans will be able to say goodbye to the legendary football player. Currently, the most reliable information indicates that Giroud will soon return to France and sign a one-year contract with Lille. According to insider Fabrizio Romano, this transfer is almost agreed upon, and the French striker is going to continue his career in his homeland, joining the team of this club. It should be noted that while playing for Los Angeles, Olivier Giroud was not only an important part of the team, but also left a mark in the hearts of Ukrainian fans. After all, together with the French forward, the team also includes Ukrainian defender Artem Smolyakov. Giroud himself has a long and illustrious career in European football. He played for such prestigious clubs as Montpellier, Chelsea, Arsenal and Milan. He has played 137 matches for France and scored 57 goals, making him the top scorer in the history of the national team. His talent and experience have become an important component of the successes of the French national team, including the victory at the 2018 World Cup. Unfortunately, he did not avoid negative news: it was previously reported that Giroud's house in Los Angeles was robbed, which became an additional stress for the football player. However, despite this unpleasantness, his career continues to develop and opens up new horizons. Returning to France and signing a contract with Lille puts an end to the American stage of Giroud's career and opens up new opportunities for him in European football. As you know, this player will only strengthen the team and add experience to young football players, renewing his ambitions for new performances in European leagues.
