This though, means that Olivier Giroud is more likely to play second fiddle to his international team-mate. And a lack of sufficient game time would mean that Giroud might lose his place in the French national team. But it looks as if the 30-year-old is not ready to make that kind of sacrifice.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal are currently on their pre-season tour Down Under and while speaking to the press, the Frenchman made most of his statements in the past tense. To indicate as if his career at Arsenal is already over.<\/p>\n<p>Giroud said, &#8220;It(leaving) is an option, to be honest with you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m here in pre-season, I wanted to travel. Some people asked me if I am going to travel or not and of course, I am Arsenal player and for the moment I am here so I just want to prepare well for the season and we will see later.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s been five years that I&#8217;ve been here. It could be my sixth one. I had an amazing welcome from the fans and from the club and it has been five amazing years for me.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I won&#8217;t forget it, no matter what happens. We will see about my future but I am still an Arsenal player for the moment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>The Football Fan Base view:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Initially, Everton and Marseille looked to be the frontrunners in signing the Arsenal player. But now that Everton have bought Sando Ramirez and Wayne Rooney, it is likely unlikely that they will go for another \u00a335 million forward.<\/p>\n<p>So if Giroud does decide to leave, then he will hopefully move back to France and join Marseille.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to the Mirror, Arsenal forward Olivier Giroud might have decided that his footballing future lies away from Arsenal.
