Giroud to voice Green Goblin in new Spider-Man film

Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud has confirmed he will voice the Green Goblin character in an upcoming French version of a new Spider-Man movie.

Giroud isn't the only footballer slated to play a role in the film, with Paris Saint-Germain defender Presnel Kimpembe set to take on the voice of Scorpion.

Both players confirmed their roles on Tuesday with posts on Twitter.

The film, which comes out on December 12, is called "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" in English, while the French equivalent will be titled "Spider-Man: New Generation."

Giroud and Kimpembe were team-mates on France's victorious World Cup side this summer, and will be in action on Friday as Les Bleus take on the Netherlands in Nations League action.
