The American adventure will not have been the one hoped for for Olivier Giroud. Arrived free last summer at Los Angeles FC from AC Milan, the French striker is preparing to turn the Californian page.
The 2018 world champion played his last match with the Wings on Monday, punctuated by a defeat against the Whitecaps of Vancouver (0-1). Mute during this meeting, the native of Chambéry regrets a modest assessment at the LAFC: 5 goals and 3 assists in 37 appearances. “I would have liked to have more impact on the team and on the results. In the end, it was a good experience ”he said at a press conference.
New challenge in sight?
Despite a contract running until next December, Giroud's future would now take shape on the side of France. Announced close to LOSC, the interested party confirmed his desire to change the air.
“Now I need a new chapter. I need to get a new challenge. When I had the opportunity to return to France, I seized it“Said the former Montpellier.
