Did Vardy snub persuade Arsenal to keep Giroud?

With Arsenal still struggling to recruit a forward to either replace or compliment Olivier Giroud, the well-trained eye of Morgan has took to Twitter to announce the ideal soltion.

But he believes the 29-year-old needs someone like Antonie Griezmann alongside him if he is to score goals for the Gunners next season.

He’s struck up an excellent partnership with Antoine Griezmann up front and the duo has played an important role in leading their nation to Sunday’s Euro 2016 Final.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger seemingly recognises his ability and importance on the team, and it appears he has absolutely no intention of selling him this summer with clubs monitoring his situation. “They bring a lot of quality with other players as well”. With the eyes of the world fixed on a select few players, a handful of good performances can mean a hugely inflated price tag.

“Giroud, with his back to goal, is very good”. The French blasted their way into the semi-finals of the Euros with a 5-2 win over Iceland, with Giroud finding the back of the net twice, alongside Dimitri Payet, Antoine Griezmann and Paul Pogba. “They share the workload of scoring goals”. So the best thing to do is answer on the pitch, as I used to do in the past.

The Mirror said: Arsenal have rejected a string of enquiries for Olivier Giroud.

But Henry said all he needed was the right striker to play alongside him.

Two Portuguese players have the same amount, Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani, and both were on the scoresheet as Wales’ Euro 2016 fairy tale came to an end earlier in the week.

His side booked their spot in the tournament’s showpiece with a 2-0 victory over the Germans, a team they haven’t beaten in a major competition since 1958. “I think the game is going back to two strikers”.
