Ligue 1 takes a jump in the past. After Paul Pogba, who will sign in Monaco for two years, another 2018 world champion is making a comeback in France. While he seemed left to end his career in the United States, with his friend Hugo Lloris at Los Angeles FC, Olivier Giroud is about to get involved in favor of Lille.
According to Foot transfer windowan agreement would have already been reached with the northern club, fifth of the elite last season and qualified for the Europa League. The tricolor striker will play a final match in MLS with the Californian team, on the night of Sunday to Monday against Vancouver, before joining the Dogues.

Raymond Domenech flingue Olivier Giroud
“Ultimately, if he arrived in a club that played the bottom of the table, it would go. But a moment ago, it went, it happened.
