Olivier Giroud
38-Year-Old
Lille
Ligue 1
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Giroud had a challenging first season in MLS, struggling to find his rhythm after arriving late in 2024. The veteran striker still showed glimpses of his quality, but consistency eluded him without a full preseason to adapt. In 2025, with the benefit of complete preparation, Giroud is expected to play a more decisive role for LAFC, contributing both goals and assists. His experience and ability to link up play will be key, especially in support of Denis Bouanga, as he looks to make a significant impact in his second year.
Signs with Lille
Giroud signed with Lille, the club announced Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Giroud made the move back to France and back to Ligue 1, signing with Lille after a largely poor stint in MLS. The veteran striker doesn't have the athleticism he once did, but he's still able to cause defenses issues with his reading of the game and a lethal finishing touch.
