Olivier Giroud close to signing new contract at Arsenal
Last Updated: 27/12/16 11:25pm



Olivier Giroud admits he has had a "difficult" season so far but is close to agreeing a new contract at Arsenal.

The France striker has been used sparingly by Arsene Wenger so far in the current campaign, but he celebrated his first Premier League start of the season by scoring the only goal in the Gunners' 1-0 Boxing Day win over West Brom.

Until Monday, Giroud had found himself limited to substitute appearances or starts in other competitions, with the winner against the Baggies only his sixth goal of the season.

After being handed an extended break after the European Championship, his route back into the side was blocked by Alexis Sanchez - who has shone since Wenger moved him into a more central role.

But Giroud, who was labelled a "fighter" by Wenger after the game, said he wants to remain at the Emirates Stadium - even if he has found this season difficult thus far.

"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," he said.

"This season has been difficult because also I was injured for a month and a half so it hasn't been easy.

"I don't want to talk too much about me but it was a big day for me, but a turning point for the team because if we didn't win we would have been in trouble."

Giroud was philosophical when pushed further on the issue - and also said that, contrary to some reports, he has not penned a new deal at Arsenal.

"It is all about keeping the focus high," he said when asked about being left out of the side.

"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 hadn't played too much until here.

"But football is an everlasting new beginning, as I used to say, and you always have to keep focused and wait for your time.

"People have been saying I have signed a new contract. It is not true but maybe soon."

Olivier Giroud, Laurent Koscielny and Francis Coquelin sign new Arsenal contracts

Olivier Giroud, Laurent Koscielny and Francis Coquelin have signed new long-term contracts with Arsenal.

Giroud, 30, has returned to the Gunners' starting line-up in recent weeks, scoring in his last four outings, while midfielder Coquelin and centre-back Koscielny have been consistent performers.

The striker's "scorpion-kick" goal against Palace has been one of the highlights of the season so far and he has scored six Premier League goals despite only starting three games.

Coquelin, 25, has developed into a key member of the first-team squad following his return from a loan at Charlton in December 2014 while 31-year-old Koscielny has emerged as a rock in Arsene Wenger's defence since his arrival from Lorient six years ago.

Wenger said: "We are very pleased that three important members of our team have committed to us for the long term.

"Francis has made tremendous technical strides over the past few years because he's so focused every day.

"Olivier has big experience in the game now and has become a more and more complete player since joining us.

"Laurent is of course a key part of our squad and I believe one of the best defenders in the world today. So overall, this is great news for us."

未。

【now.com體育】「廠」迷好消息！阿仙奴周四於官網宣佈，3名法國兵基奧特、哥斯尼及高基連，跟球會簽下一紙長約。

阿仙奴在官網證實，3將基奧特（Olivier Giroud）、哥斯尼及高基連齊同意簽下長約，但未有透露各人合約年期。球會上載短片，3人在領隊雲加陪同下，於會議室內有說有笑，並與「師父」握手，意味未來合作愉快。

「我們很滿意隊內3名重要的成員，承諾將未來交到球隊手上。」雲加透過官網逐一點評，「高基連的技術及狀態，在過去幾年有顯著進步，皆因他每天都很專注；基奧特現於比賽中已充滿經驗，自加盟後，已成為一個全面的球員；哥斯尼當然是陣中關鍵球員，深信他今天已是世界最出色的防守球員之一。總括來說，對我們是天大的好消息。」

3人之中，哥斯尼入「廠」最早，於2010年從法甲的羅連安特過檔，現是兵工廠副隊長，而基奧特在2012年來投後，亦已替球隊上陣逾200場比賽。
