Last week, Aulas revealed that the Gunners are “ready to
pay” for their striker, Alexandre
Lacazette.
He has now told L’Equipe: “There has been an approach to
Giroud. He is a boy we like, who also scores a lot of goals and who has a lot
of ambition for Russia (next year’s World Cup).
“He told me himself that he wanted to take his time, that
thing we not completely clear with Arenal, and he had the secret hope to be the
No 1 attacker at Arsenal next season.”
It is understood that the Ligue 1 club would try to sign
Giroud, if Arsenal get Lacazette.
Giroud lost his starting place as centre-forward at the
Emirates last year and now risks slipping further down the pecking order
