Giroud Keen On Staying At The Emirates

Giroud Keen On Staying At The Emirates

When it comes to strikers in front of goal over the course of his tenure in the Premier League you can argue that you can count the players more underrated than Giroud on one hand and even that is generous. The Frenchman is easily one of the best strikers in the world and surely one of the most suited for the Premier League.

Similar to Morata, Giroud is the kind of guy who can deal with any defender no matter how big or strong and is able to be ready to take opportunities when they come his way even after not starting for a while. Add to that excellent finishing skills and you get a top notch no.9 who can win you any game – see what happened against West Brom.


Unfortunately for the Frenchman, in football as always speed is of the essence. While it is hard to keep up with teams that like to keep the ball on the floor and move the ball at pace with intricate passing and moving play where team-mates seem to telepathically know where their mates are going to be there will always be room for the option of having a plan B where long balls and out-muscling defenders with physical footballing work to win balls in the air to provide flick-ons for supporting midfielders or striking partners in England there will always be room for the likes of Giroud or Burnley’s Sam Vokes who can win such balls and hold the ball up to bring team-mates into the play.

Because of that English football adapted and also imported different playing styles by buying the most expensive and influential players on the planet. Even so, in many people’s opinions, Giroud still holds his own against any kind of team. There is talk about his contract extension as he is entering the last year of his Arsenal deal and without a doubt, he should be offered an extension. If you are a fan of Giroud and fancy Arsenal’s chances this season, why not head over and bet with bet365.

You won’t find a striker of his quality willing to sign and stay in Sanchez’s shadow. Fortunately, he is keen on extending his contract as reported by Sky Sports:

“I came back a bit late from the Euros and it was nice for my body because I could rest but not good for me because the team was doing well and another striker was doing well up front,”

“This season has been difficult because also I was injured for a month and a half so it hasn’t been easy.

“I don’t want to talk too much about me but it was a big day for me, but a turning point for the team because if we didn’t win we would have been in trouble.”

“Always keep working hard at training. I was speaking with the boss, we had a couple of discussions together and he explained to me why I hadn’t played too much until here.”

“But football is an everlasting new beginning, as I used to say, and you always have to keep focused and wait for your time.

“People have been saying I have signed a new contract. It is not true but maybe soon.”

The Frenchman also spoke about why he is having trouble becoming part of the 1st eleven and why he sometimes failed to deliver. Again, despite all excuses and despite his inconsistency at times, most fans and members of the coaching staff would not think twice about securing Giroud for another 2-3 years.
