Arsenal told to sign striker like former gunners star Olivier Giroud

Bacary Sagna has told Paddy Power that Arsenal need a focal point striker like Olivier Giroud.

The Gunners had an amazing season last year and look like they could be the side to beat in the upcoming season – but only if they add a couple of new signings to the side over the next few weeks.

There has been alot of calls that ARSENAL need a new striker – there has been some big names linked with a move to the Emirates – but despite all the speculation no striker has been brought to the club so far.

But amid all that speculation and rumours – Sagna has opened up and encouraged the club to sign a striker like Giroud – He said: “Arsenal need to be stronger and be more attacking going forward. This season, scoring goals was a problem for them. They could add a proper striker – a number nine.

“Arsenal are playing well but they can improve on crossing the ball – they hold the ball well generally, but occasionally they’ll need to cross it more. Arsenal are a fantastic team but they pass the ball around the box a lot, and some teams can come and make it difficult for them.

“I’m happy with Gabriel Jesus, as long as he stays fit, but they still have to have cover. I would go for someone like Olivier Giroud, someone physical who can hold the ball quite well and support the team if they’re struggling.

‘They need someone who can wait in the box and help out offensively and defensively.”

There is plenty of weeks left in the transfer window for ARSENAL to get their transfer business done – we are expecting a new striker to be signed – but it will be interesting to see if they listen to Sagna.
