The agent of Olivier Giroud says moving to Italy has taken his game to a new level.
Giroud has been superb for AC Milan since his move from Chelsea and is now leading the line for France at the World Cup.
Agent Michael Manuello told La Gazzetta dello Sport: "Italy completed him because it asks for different things.
"In Serie A he remains more in the area than in the past and has responsibility as a central striker.
"Olivier often in the hierarchies was a number 2 or a number 1 and a half, while at Milan he is one of the references of the team."
