Giroud to fight for starting spot

– Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud wants to stay at the club and fight for his place despite the arrival of Alexandre Lacazette, manager Arsene Wenger has said.

Giroud struggled for opportunities at Arsenal last season, starting 11 league games after losing his spot to Alexis Sanchez.

The 30-year-old France international could be further bumped down the pecking order by compatriot Lacazette, who arrived from Olympique Lyonnais for a reported to £46.5 million. – Reuters
