Olivier Giroud has bid farewell to Chelsea fans, teammates and staff as he completes his medical to join Serie A side AC Milan.

“To all the Blues, to my teammates, to all my coaches, to the whole club, a huge thank you for these special moments.
I’m starting a new journey with a light and happy heart. Our victories in FA Cup, Europa League and Champions league have been magnificent.
Love Oli G đź’™.”
