Giroud’s Arsenal future depends on Sanchez and Lemar deals

Olivier Giroud is set to remain at Arsenal until the future of Alexis Sanchez and Thomas Lemar are decided, according to a report from the Telegraph.

Sanchez has been linked with a move away from the Emirates with Premier League rivals Manchester City keen to lure him to the Etihad.

Arsenal are also negotiating with French club Monaco over a possible deal for French winger Lemar and Wenger is waiting for the outcome of that deal before deciding on the future of Giroud.

The striker is a target for London rivals West Ham who are looking to bolster their attack by adding a big-name striker this summer, while Everton are also thought to be interested.

But they will have to wait as the Gunners do not want to rush into a decision to sell Giroud before they have completed other business such as retaining Sanchez.

Giroud wants regular first-team football ahead of the 2018 World Cup in Russia where he wants to be a starter for France. The striker has been used mainly as a substitute during his time at Arsenal and has offers from clubs who are willing to make him their starting striker.
