Chelsea striker, Olivier Giroud has kept his promise by shaving his head following France’s victory at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.

Speaking on shaving his hair to fulfil his promise, Giroud said: “I only have one rule… so I will respect it. My wife wants me to do it after the baptism of our son on Sunday,’ Giroud said earlier this week. Hugo Lloris also said he’d do it.”

And the Chelsea striker has been true to his word after taking time out on holiday to reveal his new look to fans.
