O. Giroud: I am glad that J. Vardy will join the "Arsenal" team.

“Arsenal” forward Olivier Giroud revealed that he was informed that the team will be joined by Jamie Vardy, and the Frenchman is happy with this acquisition.

Speaking to Sky Sports, the forward said that he had already been informed about the new signing, and according to the footballer, they will complement each other perfectly.

“I was told that Vardy will join us, and it is great news for the team. I think we will complement each other well,” said the Frenchman.

Giroud also emphasized that he is not afraid of competition, and the addition of a striker of his caliber was eagerly awaited and delighted him.

“He is an amazing player. As I have said before - I am not afraid of competition. In the 'Arsenal' club we have always had fantastic forwards, and I wish the team all the best. I hope he will help us fight for the champion's title. The coach wanted to buy one or two forwards, so that's what I expected. Now we just have to hope that he will score even more goals for us in the club than in the 'Leicester City' team,” Giroud said.

The official announcement about Vardy joining the 'Arsenal' team should be made at the beginning of next week.
