According to an interview on arsenal.com, Olivier Giroud has hinted that he would like to stay with the club despite rumours that he could leave this summer.
The £20m-rated striker is a target for Everton and West Ham United and it was thought that the imminent arrival of Alexandre Lacazette would push him closer to the exit door as he grew frustrated at a lack of regular playing time last season.
However, after scoring 16 goals in 40 appearances in all competitions last term, Giroud has hinted on the latest weekly Arsenal podcast that he is ready fight for his place.
Speaking on the podcast, he said: “That’s why I want to carry on my good journey at Arsenal and I always want to give my best.
“I would love to win another title, or maybe more until the end of my contract.
“The motivation is here, always doing your best to make your family proud.”
Arsenal supporters were quick to react to Giroud’s comments via social media, with many not wanting him to leave this summer and others urging the club not to sell the Frenchman.
