Giroud considering future after lack of games

Although Olivier Giroud signed a new three yeard deal with Arsenal this past season, the French striker saw his game time diminish and made only 11 starts for the Gunners last season.

Giroud came off the bench 23 times last season as Wenger chose to deploy Alexis Sanchez as Arsenal’s main striker. Due to this, Giroud became somewhat of a super sub for the team as within those 23 bench appearances, he scored 12 times. 

As a consequence of his reduced role, Giroud thinks it may be time to consider his future at the club, although he still maintains his desire to win the league.

“I will put up with the transfer market. I will discuss with the coach but he is relying on me.”

“It is true that I have had limited playing time but it was for a certain amount of time, it is true there were things against me. I will not settle for another year with such little playing time.

“I will have to think carefully to consider it with my relatives and my advisers. It will be a decision that will be maturely thought about to have more playing time. I feel good here, I want to win the Premier League with Arsenal. But I don’t know what the future holds.”
