Chelsea’s striker Olivier Giroud has waved at AC Milan fans ahead of his medical this morning. 

Giroud's contract with the Blues was extended by the club at the end of the season, although included an £850,000 release clause.

The Frenchman is in Italy finalizing his move to the Serie A giants.

The World Cup winner will provide an alternative to injured veteran Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

AC Milan have triggered the clause, and are now ready to buy the 34-year-old Chelsea forward.

Giroud has agreed a two-year deal worth around £50,000-a-week according to the Sun.

The transfer could be announced later today and brings Giroud's nine-year stint in the Premier League to an end.

He joined Arsenal from Montpellier in 2012, joining the 100-club at the Gunners.

In total, he bagged 105 goals in 253 appearances for the North Londoners, also laying on 41 assists.

The Frenchman left Arsenal for Chelsea in January 2018, playing under four managers during a chaotic few years at Stamford Bridge.

Although rarely first-choice, the target man provided some big moments for the Blues.
He went on to play 119 games for Chelsea, scoring 39 goals.

The 6ft 4in ace added Europa League and Champions League triumphs to his World Cup winners' medal while at Stamford Bridge.
