Olivier Giroud has touched down in Italy for his AC Milan medical ahead of joining the Serie A giants from Chelsea in a £1million deal.

The France forward was pictured on Thursday afternoon arriving at the Linate airport in Milan after being flown from Grenoble on a private jet.

Giroud, who was seen wearing a mask with the AC Milan badge on it, briefly waved to the cameras and posed for photographs as he stepped outside the airport before being whisked away in a 4x4 BMW by a club associate.
