Olivier Giroud has hinted that he will sign a contract extension at Arsenal soon.
The French striker’s current deal runs out in June 2018 and there have been doubts over his future, especially since he lost his starting role to Alexis Sanchez.
However, the 30-year-old seems to suggest he is close to signing a new deal at the Emirates.
“People have been saying I have signed a new contract, but that is not true. Maybe soon, though,” Giroud told reporters.
“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 has not been easy.
“But it is all about keeping the focus high. 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 had not played too much until now.
“As long as the team is getting better I am happy and I am part of the club for five years and I want to carry on. But we have to see, I need more time of games but we will see in the future.”
