Olivier Giroud undergoing medical ahead of Lille move | OneFootball

Olivier Giroud (38) is currently in Paris undergoing a medical ahead of completing his move to Lille OSC, according to a report from RMC Sport.

Giroud has already agreed a contract termination with Los Angeles FC, which will allow him to join LOSC on a free transfer. He played his final game for the MLS side over the weekend before speaking post-match about his “excitement” at making the move to Lille.

That move is now edging ever closer. As per RMC Sport, Giroud is currently in Paris undergoing his medical. Once that is completed, he will make the short trip to Lille, where he will sign his contract. It is understood that the transfer could be made official later today.

The Frenchman will replace Jonathan David and Chuba Akpom, both of whom left at the end of last season. The latter returned to Ajax upon the expiry of his loan and the former’s contract expired. Hamza Igamane is also a target for Les Dogues as they look to rejuvenate their forward line.
