Olivier Giroud is showing that class is permanent as the veteran striker leads Lille’s push for a European place in the closing stages of the Ligue 1 season.

The former France international has scored 10 goals since his return to Ligue 1, bringing invaluable experience and leadership to a young Lille squad. His presence has been transformative, with the team winning seven of their last ten matches.
