Arsenal boss Wenger delighted with Giroud form

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is delighted with the form of Olivier Giroud.

He's looking at Olivier Giroud to continue his goal scoring at Aston Villa today and revealed he never once thought of selling him despite a dip in form.

"Olivier is doing very well at the moment," said Wenger. "He had a good game at Manchester City and an acceptable one at Brighton.

"There was never a time when I thought his future might be elsewhere. No, never, because always he's a player who gives you different options in the game.

"In some games you can play Alexis Sanchez or Danny Welbeck up front, but Olivier, his specific qualities, are always interesting, he always gives you that."
