Speaking on the transfer, club director, Marina Granovskaia, said the club’s happy to sign a proven goalscorer in the PL in Giroud.

“Olivier is a proven talent at the top level and we are very pleased to call him a Chelsea FC player,” she said.

The 31-year-old scored over a century of goals in his five-and-a-half year stay at the Emirates, including 16goals in 17 starts in all competitions last seasons for the Gunners.

“Chelsea FC is one of the biggest teams in the Premier League. They have won maybe the most trophies in the last six or seven years,” Giroud said. “It’s a massive club and I am proud to sign for Chelsea FC, and I’m looking forward to playing.”

He becomes the second signing of the January transfer window by the Blues, following the arrival for fullback, Emerson, from Serie A side, AS Roma.

The former Montpellier striker joins compatriots N’Golo Kante and Tiemoue Bakayoko in the Chelsea FC squad, and is eligible to play in all three competitions for the Blues.

In a related development, German side, Borussia Dortmund, have signed Michy Batshuayi on loan from English champions, Chelsea FC.
