AC Milan striker Olivier Giroud says he's delighted to be playing in Serie A.
Giroud arrived in the summer from Chelsea.
“I'm very proud to play for Milan and in Serie A," Giroud told the official channel of Serie A TIM. “It was the League I watched when I was young.
“I'm also very proud because my favourite footballer when I was a teenager was [former Milan star Andriy] Shevchenko. I'm lucky to have this opportunity to play and score for this club like him.
“We play football for these emotions and pass them on to the fans, and that's why I can't wait to give everything for the team and for the Milan supporters."
He added: “Both my grandmothers were Italian, I'm proud of my origins. I studied the language in school.
“I love this country and of course it's cuisine. They are a bit behind the French one, but it's still good. I can't wait to learn the language better and discover the city better, to tour it with my family."
