"His championship ambition and his qualities as a man and as a player directly align with ours as a club," said LAFC general manager John Thorrington. Giroud, who has scored 14 Serie A goals this term, is France's record goalscorer and is set to appear for Les Bleus at Euro 2024.

Giroud will link up with his long-time international team-mate, Hugo Lloris, at LAFC. This move marks another chapter in Giroud's illustrious career, which has seen him achieve significant success in European football.
