"Why did I choose Milan? Because they are the strongest club in Europe and for me it is a great honour to wear these colours," he said on signing for the Champions League finalists.

Gilardino has been a regular for Italy since Marcello Lippi took over last July after the striker was controversially left out of the Italy squad for Euro 2004 in Portugal.

Last season Milan openly expressed an interest in Gilardino, who is widely expected to spearhead Italy's attack at the World Cup if they qualify for the 2006 finals in Germany.
