London's "Arsenal" team sold their forward Olivier Giroud during the winter transfer window, who moved to London's "Chelsea". The 31-year-old footballer spent five years in the "Gunners" ranks, then as he said, the decision was certainly not easy. However, the arrival of the new forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and the desire to play in the World Cup this summer contributed a lot to that. "The fact is that the coach wanted a new forward, and after Aubameyang's arrival, there were three top forwards in the team. That's why I decided to leave. It was a logical decision to take a different path in my career. Of course, it was sad, yet I spent five wonderful years here. I could have stayed, but I needed a reason to stay. I personally wanted to stay in the Premier League and Chelsea was the perfect option," said the striker. The footballer also consulted with the French coach Didier Deschamps before making the decision. "I spoke to Deschamps. He didn't tell me to go to Chelsea, but he said I should change clubs. My decision was quite clear when I knew that Antonio Conte wanted to work with me. Morata and I will be the two main forwards. There will be very good competition between us," said O. Giroud.
