Why I joined Arsenal preseason tour – Olivier Giroud

Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud has revealed why he still joined the club’s pre-season tour after admitting he could leave this summer.

Giroud’s time at the Emirates seems to be over after Arsenal broke the club transfer record to sign striker Alexandre Lacazette.

Giroud made the trip to Australia with the Gunners for the start of their preseason tour, but made it clear that he does not know where he will be playing next season.

He told reporters in Australia, “It is to be honest with you.

“But I’m still an Arsenal player so I try to be professional, like I always have done, and prepare well for next season.

“Some people asked me if I wanted to travel or not. Yeah of course, I’m an Arsenal player so I’m here.

“I just want to prepare well for the season, and we’ll see later. But one thing is sure, I really enjoyed my five years at Arsenal.”
