Chelsea given Olivier Giroud green light over £18m transfer decision with Eden Hazard example

Former Olivier Giroud has already given his seal of approval to Christian Pulisic’s pending move to AC Milan.

The USA winger looks set to end his time at Stamford Bridge, four years after arriving from Borussia Dortmund. Pulisic struggled to make an impact last season during a difficult campaign for the club, managing just one goal and two assists in 30 games across all competitions, and is not expected to be part of Chelsea’s USA pre-season tour.

Milan are believed to have agreed a £18.8million ($24.1million) fee with Chelsea, staving off competition from Lyon, with personal terms also said to be finalised. Former Blues striker Giroud played alongside Pulisic for two years and was asked if the winger would be a good fit for the Rossoneri, back in May.
