Olivier Giroud is set to complete a move from Chelsea to AC Milan on Friday, on a two-year contract worth £3million a season and for a £1m fee.
The French striker signed for Arsenal back in 2012 and spent six-and-a-half seasons in North London, before moving across the capital to the Blues in January 2018.
Giroud scored 144 goals in all competitions across his nine campaigns in English football - an average of 16 per season - and had an evident penchant for the spectacular, gaining a reputation for netting outrageous strikes.
So below, Sportsmail counts down his top 10 best goals for Arsenal and Chelsea, encompassing a perfect hat-trick, an overhead kick and that Puskas Award winner.

10. The sumptuous turn
Liverpool 3-3 ARSENAL, January 13, 2016
Five years ago it was Arsene Wenger v Jurgen Klopp in a thriller at Anfield which saw Wenger's side stay top of the Premier League despite Joe Allen's late equaliser.
Joel Campbell - remember him? - feeds a ball into the box which deflects off Alberto Moreno. Mamadou Sakho slips but Giroud reacts quickest, flicking the ball with his left heel, turning past the helpless Kolo Toure and whipping it into the corner.
He missed an open goal in the first half, but when you've sent an 'Invincibles' defender for a cup of tea and a chocolate biscuit, who cares?

9. The belter
ARSENAL 3-0 West Ham, March 14, 2015
Vintage Gunners, this. A cute one-two with Mesut Ozil, the German finds Aaron Ramsey, and Giroud takes it off his toes. 12 yards out, to the right of the box, great angle for a left-footer. We all know Giroud has the curled finish in his locker, so we expect that.

Why smash the ball with your laces when a curler will do? Because it looks and sounds nice when you belt it right into the postage stamp, in off the post, which is exactly what he does here.
8. The composed run
CHELSEA 2-0 Southampton, April 22, 2018
FA Cup semi-final, half-time, 0-0. During the break, Antonio Conte has probably told his Chelsea side to sharpen up in attack.
A minute later, Eden Hazard slips it through to the Frenchman. Four defenders around him - behind, left, in front, right, plus the goalkeeper, like the final boss level of an impossibly hard computer game.
Giroud pauses, semi-dummies, chops inside on his left, nudges it back the other way with his right. One more touch out of his feet, a pause and then he stabs it into the empty net with his right foot. 1-0, five players on the floor, including Giroud.

7. The cheeky chip
Sevilla 0-4 CHELSEA, December 2, 2020
A perfect hat-trick and a penalty for Giroud was not a bad return as he scored all four in a European demolition of Sevilla, becoming the oldest hat-trick scorer in Champions League history in the process.
His third wasn't bad but his second was a class apart. As Jorginho funnels it forward to Mateo Kovacic, he shuttles slightly to his right to open up a half-yard of space to the left.
Kovacic pokes it through, Sergi Gomez overcommits and slides in, Giroud breezes past him and lifts it over the advancing goalkeeper with his right foot. It didn't even look like he broke sweat.
6. The sideways scissor kick
Crystal Palace 1-2 ARSENAL, August 16, 2015
Ozil hangs a cross to the back stick, Damien Delaney gives Giroud half a yard of space, which is to say half a yard too much space.
The ball is behind Giroud, but even as he falls backwards he connects
