Maldini confirms Chelsea striker Giroud joining AC Milan

AC Milan technical director Paulo Maldini has confirmed Olivier Giroud will complete a move to the club.

Milan reached an agreement with Chelsea to sign the French striker for €2m.

The 34-year-old is now travelling to Milan to undergo a medical.

"Yes, [Giroud] should arrive tomorrow," Maldini told DAZN.

"Olivier is a champion and a fresh winner of the Champions League.

"He is a very reliable player, what we were looking for since we need experienced players like him.

We are the youngest team in Serie A."

Maldini also didn't rule out signing another striker.

"A young striker could also arrive," he added.

"The idea is to lay the foundations for the team and then perhaps wait for the final phase of the transfer market."
