Olivier Giroud speaks on his Arsenal future

Giroud likely to remain at Arsenal next season

France international Olivier Giroud has insisted that he is 'feeling good' at Arsenal despite his limited playing time during the 2016-17 Premier League season.



The 30-year-old managed to start just 11 league games for Arsene Wenger's side over the course of the campaign, but he still managed to reach double figures with his goal tally.

Giroud has been heavily linked with a return to Ligue 1 with Marseille in recent weeks, but the Frenchman has played down the speculation by iterating his desire to stay put at the Emirates.

"There is nothing fixed, but I would say that today I feel good at Arsenal," he told Football.Fr. "I have two more years on my contract, we will see what the future will be.

"The Premier League is an increasingly high-profile and contested championship, where five or six teams can potentially claim the title. This is why I still want to continue to win this title." 

Despite his critics in recent years, Giroud has amassed 98 goals in 225 outings for the north London giants - including 16 in 38 appearances this term.

Giroud could play a part for Arsenal this weekend as they look to clinch their third FA Cup title in four seasons against local rivals Chelsea.
