Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC) is set to shake up the soccer world with this heavyweight signing. Within a few hours, the club will make the official announcement of the arrival of renowned French striker Olivier Giroud, who will leave his mark on the European soccer pitches to land in the United States and shine in Major League Soccer (MLS).
Giroud's decision to join LAFC had a key element: the influence of his compatriot and current goalkeeper of the club, Hugo Lloris. Lloris played a significant role in introducing the striker to the advantages and potential success he could find in MLS, especially under the spotlight of LAFC.

With the transfer window closed until July 18, Giroud will be officially unveiled as an LAFC player after the conclusion of the Euro Cup, where he is representing the French national team. This means fans will have to wait a little longer to see the new star in action on American soil.
Meanwhile, despite the official announcement of the signing, it's important to note that Giroud will continue to be a player for AC Milan until the end of the European season. His dedication and commitment to the Italian club will remain intact until he is ready to embark on his new journey with LAFC in July. Therefore, his first game representing the Californian team will be during the Leagues Cup.
Giroud's signing represents a significant milestone for LAFC and for MLS as a whole. With an impressive goal-scoring record and undeniable skill on the field, the French striker will certainly raise the level of play and bring a new dimension to the club's attack.
Furthermore, Giroud's arrival will add a touch of class and experience to LAFC's roster. His presence in the locker room and his leadership ability will be invaluable to the club's young talents, providing them with a unique opportunity to learn from one of the world's best strikers.
For LAFC fans, Giroud's signing is cause for great celebration and optimism. With a stellar attack led by Giroud, Denis Bouanga, and Cristian Olivera, the prospects for the team's upcoming season are certainly brighter than ever.
