Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud has expressed his unhappiness after Arsenal decided to allow Jack Wilshere leave the Emirates Stadium as a free agent. The France international went on to claim it is a “big loss” for the Gunners to let the midfelder leave.

The England international has struggled with injuries and fitness and that forced Arsene Wenger to not use Jack Wilshere regularly for the north London club. In the 2016-17 season, Arsene Wenger allowed the 26 year old to join AFC Bournmouth on loan and Jack Wilshere was hoping that he has done enough with Eddie Howe’s side to continue at Arsenal.
