Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has told Sky Sports that he wants French striker Olivier Giroud to stay at the club. The 30-year-old frontman is out of contract at the end of next season and has fallen down the pecking order at The Emirates, but his fellow countryman explained that; “"How do we keep them all happy? Honestly I don't know," he said of his forwards. If you have only one striker, the press says 'why don't you buy another striker?' Once you buy one more they say 'how can you keep him happy?”
 

He continued; “We are in a world where you have to know where you want to be and in my case I want Giroud to stay, I want Giroud to extend his contract. After he has to live with the competition and for me he is a very important player at the club, on the pitch and off the pitch. I want him to stay, he has to decide if he can live with what is going on but personally I like Giroud very much."
