Earlier this year, one of the fan favorite at Emirates departed Arsenal in search for regular minutes to keep his place with France at the World Cup finals, Yes, We are talking about Olivier Giroud.
Despite of ups-and-downs Giroud has had during his tenure at Arsenal, during his departure the Gooners had their eye wet as ‘You don’t find someone with that passion and love for the club everyday.’ and Olivier Giroud lived by that. You could see, he would give a hundred-and-fifty percent donning the Red and White. He is a Gunner. He is one of US.
But he had to leave, to make sure he was standing tall with France at the World Cup held at Russia.
Arsenal’s city rivals Chelsea made move – as they signed Olivier Giroud for £18 million. It was maybe the best decision for Olivier Giroud’s career and to continue at the highest level and no matter what – He will still be welcomed with applause by Arsenal fans.
Giroud’s career with the Blues have not got off to a start he would have hoped for with scoring five goals in twenty-six appearances, but he has definitely transformed ‘Eden Hazard’s impact’ with his back to the goal. Giroud has made an impact – not with his goals (as most strikers do) but with his charismatic style of play that has led the likes of Eden Hazard, Willian, Pedro, Ross Barkley to be themselves in and around the opponents penalty area.
Giroud recently made a transfer revelation claiming there were interests from other clubs over the summer but suggested that he still has a future at Chelsea.
Olivier Giroud has scored 105 goals in 253 appearances for Arsenal
Many Arsenal supporters including Me, wants Unai Emery and Arsenal to get Olivier back home.
With Danny Welbeck potentially leaving in January, Arsenal do need a experienced back up striker and whats better than getting Olivier Giroud back to where he belongs.
Olivier Giroud perfectly fits in as back-up to Alex Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, everyone knows the impact he can have coming off the bench.
But the question is, ‘Will Oli wanna come back to Arsenal and settle for a back-up place?’, especially considering his age – he is thirty-two and would really like to feature as much as he could before downgrading to a sub-role.
