- Former Arsenal striker, Olivier Giroud has admitted the reason that made him quit Arsenal   - He said it was due to lack of game time - And he also admitted that signing another striker 'Aubameyang' did not help matters Former Arsenal striker, Olivier Giroud, has admitted that it was new signing Aubameyang that forced him to leave the Gunners for Chelsea. The 31-year-old made the statement while speaking with local reporters ahead of France pre World Cup friendly games this weekend, he said: "It is certain that for me, the choice was clear, I had to leave Arsenal. It was like that,"                                                                                        "From the moment when the transfer window opened, the coach had decided to take a new attacker, he paid a certain price. "It was obvious that I had to leave. You're not on top when you play less and see your teammates on the field. I could not be satisfied with this role, even more with the signing of a new attacker." The Frenchman clearly stated that he could not continue at Arsenal as cover for new signings Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette.
