Chelsea veteran Giroud chooses AC Milan over West Ham

Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud has turned down an offer from West Ham.

Giroud is on the verge of signing with Italian outfit AC Milan on a two-year deal, reports Calciomercato.com.

The experienced French striker has chosen AC Milan as his next destination having received offers elsewhere from the likes of West Ham and New York City FC.

The report goes onto claim that Giroud still believes he can have a big impact at the highest level, and he is 'intrigued' by the chance to play in Serie A and in the Champions League again.

Giroud, 34, has reportedly come to an agreement with Milan over a two-year deal worth £3.4million-per-season with performance-related bonuses on top.

Milan and Giroud will be hoping to iron out the finer details as soon as possible, with the Euros on the horizon.
