Giroud agrees Milan deal
Giroud might not be the only Chelsea player to swap Stamford Bridge for the San Siro this summer.
French striker Olivier Giroud continues to be linked with a move to Italy despite confirmation of his new contract with the Blues.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, via Sempre Milan, Giroud has now agreed upon a two-year deal with Milan and he now has to convince his current employers to let him go.

Haaland drops major hint
The cash that Chelsea will receive in the case of Tomori, or indeed save if Giroud leaves, could well be used to finance a big-money swoop for Borussia Dortmund hitman Erling Haaland.
The Norwegian has long been linked with a transfer to Stamford Bridge and has now hinted that he could be tempted to leave Dortmund so that he isn’t in his 'comfort zone'.
He said: “I want to challenge myself in everything that I do. It’s something I think about. It’s also for everyone to always do this.”
