Lyon striker Olivier Giroud has confirmed that he will be staying at the club for the next two seasons, as he looks to help the team chase the Ligue 1 title. The 34-year-old forward took to social media on Friday to announce his decision to extend his contract with the French champions.

"Glad to confirm my commitment to @OL_Football until June 2024," Giroud wrote. "I am very happy to be here in this great city. I want to thank everyone who helped me achieve so much during these years."

Giroud's decision comes after a difficult season for the Lyon squad, which saw them struggle to maintain their form throughout the campaign. However, the striker is confident that he can still make a significant contribution to the team's efforts to win the Ligue 1 title.

"I'm not just a player but also part of the team," Giroud said. "We have to work together to reach our goals. We need to keep fighting and working hard every day."

The striker's return to Lyon was seen as a major coup for the club, as they were looking to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the new season. Giroud's experience and leadership will be invaluable as the team aims to challenge for the league title once again.

The news of Giroud's extension has been welcomed by fans and teammates alike, with many expressing their excitement about the prospect of him continuing to play for the club. With the summer transfer window set to open soon, it remains to be seen whether other big names will join Lyon in the coming weeks. But for now, it seems that Giroud will be staying put, and the future looks bright for the Lyon squad.
