Olivier Giroud reveals the reason he had to leave Arsenal for Chelsea

Olivier Giroud has revealed he had to leave Arsenal because of Arsene Wenger. As the former boss wanted to play a different kind of centre-forward. Speaking to ESPN about why he had to make the switch, Giroud said: "I needed to leave Arsenal because of the fact that Arsene Wenger wanted to play with a different kind of striker. My time was over in Arsenal and I was really pleased to sign in a big club like Chelsea. "I settled really well - it's like I was part of this Chelsea team for a long time. I felt very good, with a good understanding with the players. We won the FA Cup and I played a few games, and then I had the opportunity to go to the World Cup. It was very good for me. "Then after, when I came back late from the World Cup, it was a bit different because the new manager came and you have to start again, prove to him that you are ready to play in this team. It has been a little bit difficult for me to be honest, this last month, but I will keep fighting to play in this team."
