Olivier Giroud is happy taking the No9 shirt with AC Milan.

The former Chelsea striker was presented to the local media yesterday.

Giroud said, "I am not superstitious, a shirt number cannot change the way I play. Strikers like Inzaghi, Marco van Basten and Jean-Pierre Papin wore this shirt for Milan, but I don't feel the pressure."

He continued: “I won many trophies at every club I've been at and would like to do the same here. I do have an objective in my mind, but I don't want to reveal it, otherwise there'd be too much pressure. Let's just say my final objective is to win with Milan.

“The time had come to leave Chelsea and discover a new league. God wanted me to play for Milan. This is one of the biggest clubs in the world and I really believe in the project here. We've got what it takes to have a very good Champions League campaign."
