Olivier Giroud is on the cusp of a move from Chelsea to Milan as the Frenchman finally leaves the Premier League after a successful period in England.

The World Cup winner is arguably one of the most underrated players in the league currently as he has proved himself not only a formidable target man, but a player capable of moments of brilliance.

It seems that, for Arsenal fans especially, his talent was only really appreciated after he left the club.
