Popular German website Fussball Transfers has published a report that claims Wolfsburg are in the race to sign Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud. This comes barely a month after the Bundesliga giants parted ways with former Arsenal player Nicklas Bendtner.
Giroud has been struggling to find the back of the net since the start of the year, and a section of fans have religiously called for his release, alongside club boss Arsene Wenger. He has now played 15 matches for the Gunners without scoring a goal, a statistic that erased the memories of his former lethal performances for the North London club at the beginning of the season.

The report published on the German website now claims that after releasing the controversial Bendtner, Wolfsburg sporting director Klaus Allofs is now plotting to make a move for Giroud this summer. Giroud’s position back at the Emirates stadium has been under constant threat from fresh talents such as Danny Welbeck and the ever-green Alex Iwobi.
And as expected, a section of Arsenal fans who are disappointed by the Frenchman’s performance so far, took to Twitter to send him early ‘Goodbye’ messages. Here are some of the tweets:
Wolfsburg should please take Giroud and PSG can come for Wenger. We are tired! Ramsey should go to WestHam abeg

If Giroud goes to Wolfsburg & gets to play alongside Bendtner, they will be like the 2 thugs in Home Alone.. Will never get anything done..

They took Bendtner already.. What kind of striking force do they want to set up..??
Wolfsburg paid actual money for Niklas Bendtner. I think that they're willing to overpay for Giroud

Wolfsburg or some other random club needs to sign Giroud

Hello can Giroud leave today to Wolfsburg?

Think Giroud would be at his level at Wolfsburg. We need to be ruthless & go all out for a world class replacement.
