‘Very lucky’ Olivier Giroud looks forward to returning to Arsenal with Lille

Olivier Giroud has admitted that leaving Arsenal was one of the most difficult decisions of his career and that he is relishing the opportunity to return to the Emirates tonight with Lille in the Champions League.

The Frenchman netted 105 times across nearly six years for Arsene Wenger’s Gunners, then leaving to join Chelsea in 2018 where he won the Champions League in 2021 before departing Stamford Bridge for AC Milan. This was followed by a brief stint in Major League Soccer for Los Angeles FC.
