After falling down to third in the pecking order with the Gunners, the striker also felt that his time at the Emirates was coming to an end
Olivier Giroud has revealed that he was told by two “legends” that he should leave Arsenal for Chelsea in the January transfer window.
The 31-year-old striker made the move earlier this year, and while he is not entirely content with his early form at Stamford Bridge, he felt his time at the Emirates was winding down.
That was confirmed to him when Robert Pires and Freddy Ljungberg told him it was time to move on in his career.
