AC Milan striker Giroud happy with life in Italy

AC Milan striker Olivier Giroud says he's happily settled in the city.

Former Chelsea centre-forward Giroud swapped London for Milan last summer.

“London is giant and I have a strong bond with it," said Giroud.

"Milan has a human dimension which I appreciate. I like Italian cuisine. I've found a nice restaurant close to my home, it's called Zenzero. I've also visited the Dome. I like this city which I can admire from my terrace."

On Italy's World Cup playoff with North Macedonia, he added: “It wouldn't be the same without the champions of Europe.

“With Italy, there would be more competition. I really want my Italian friends to qualify."
