It's not yet official, but it's just like. Olivier Giroud was expected this Tuesday in Paris to pass his medical examination prior to his signature in LOSC, where a contract of a season awaits him. Thirteen years after leaving Montpellier for Arsenal, the 2018 world champion will therefore find League 1. A good draw for the Dogues?
“I'm sorry, but I don't believe it for a secondslice Pierre Ménès in his program Facing Pierrotbroadcast on YouTube. The guy, he put three goals with Los Angeles (5 goals in 38 matches in all competitions, editor's note) and he wants to return to Ligue 1… At almost 39 years old, that he will celebrate on September 30, the bet can actually seem daring.

“From a media point of view, it's very satisfactory, it's nice to see him come back to France. But it should not be turned to fiasco and in the current state, I do not see how it could turn otherwise “continues Pierre Ménès.

A few days ago, on the L'Equipe channel, Raymond Domenech also expressed his doubts about the arrival of the top scorer in the history of the Blues in the North. “We can worry about Lille. It is a media blow by Olivier Létang. I do not see the usefulness, I do not see what it will be for ”said the former coach of the French team.
“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. He scored 5 goals in the United States. Yes, it was. But he is no longer “he said. The former Gunners' forward knows what to stick to: despite his impressive CV, he does not return to conquered field in the French championship.
