LAFC have mutually parted ways with striker Olivier Giroud, the club announced Friday.

Giroud will reportedly soon sign with Ligue 1 side LOSC Lille, and is slated to play one last LAFC match on Sunday vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC (9:30 pm ET | MLS Season Pass).

"Olivier has been an exemplary professional during his time at LAFC," said co-president & general manager John Thorrington.

"He brought humility and a winning mentality that helped elevate everyone around him. Olivier has been a tremendous ambassador for the club on and off the field. We are grateful for his contributions and wish him, his wife Jennifer, and his family all the very best in this next chapter."

Finally.

This was a bad pairing to begin with and lasted too long. It was obvious he was a bad fit from the get-go, and we didn't bring in new players to meet his needs. He is too old to fit our play-style, which is a shitty play-style to begin with but is even worse with the wrong players.

I don't have hard feelings for him, just for the waste of a DP slot for our roster.
