Former Arsenal and France NT striker Olivier Giroud is in talks to join Major League Soccer's Los Angeles FC.

LAFC has made a formal proposal to Giroud, who is currently with AC Milan, as he approaches 37 years of age.

Hugo Lloris, Giroud's compatriot and teammate, is a strong advocate for the move, citing team strengthening benefits.

The signing of Giroud is expected to enhance the prestige of MLS by adding another high-profile international player.

There is a debate about the potential impact of Giroud's signing on the nurturing of young talent and the club's future.
