Arsenal legend Robert Pires has told talkSPORT Olivier Giroud should forget about a transfer and challenge Alexandre Lacazette for a starting spot at the Emirates.

The Gunners snapped up Lacazette for £52million from Lyon after watching him net 100 Ligue 1 goals in 203 appearances, and he’s already netted for the club on their pre-season tour of Australia.

His arrival, though, threatens to end Giroud’s time in north London, with Everton and West Ham interested in signing him.
