Olivier Giroud 'Not Sure' Arsenal Are 'Better' Without Arsene Wenger

Olivier Giroud doesn't think Arsenal are better since Arsene Wenger stepped down last summer, but he did call for patience with the Frenchman's successor, Unai Emery.

Giroud scored 105 goals for the north London club between 2013 and 2018 before moving to Chelsea last January. He assessed his old club's transition from Wenger to Emery before the Gunners host the Blues in the Premier League on Saturday.

In an interview with ESPN FC's Liam Twomey and Eduardo Fernandez-Abascal, Giroud called it "a new adventure for them with a new coach."

Giroud can heap misery on his former club when he returns to the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
