Olivier\u00a0Giroud has insisted that he wants to remain at Arsenal despite rumours linking him with a move away from the Emirates this summer.<\/p>\n
With Arsenal set to land coveted Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette\u00a0in the next few days, talk has intensified of a transfer for Giroud, with Everton noted as a possible destination for the Frenchman.<\/p>\n
Giroud has been a hugely divisive figure at Arsenal despite maintaining a healthy goalscoring record at the club since moving from France.<\/p>\n
Some Gunners fans have criticised his laboured play at times and his inability to score when he starts in games.<\/p>\n
However, Giroud told the club website that he wanted to ‘carry on his good journey’ \u00a0and aims to remain with the Gunners until at least the end of his current contract.<\/p>\n
“I won a few titles in my career, that is an important thing, but there is another thing which is important for me. And that’s the people remember you as a loyal warrior on the pitch – that you always give your best for the team,” he said.<\/p>\n
“And that’s why I want to carry on my good journey at Arsenal and I always want to give my best. I would love to win another title, or maybe more until the end of my contract. The motivation is here, always doing your best to make your family proud.”<\/p>\n
