Giroud insists Deschamps simply wants him to play more, regardless of whether it’s at Arsenal or not and the striker says he’ll consider every opportunity in January.
‘I have the World Cup at the back of my mind weekly, almost daily. Each time I go onto the pitch, it’s to be more clinical and keep on track for the World Cup,’ said Giroud.
‘During international get-togethers, the coach usually warns me against that [leaving Arsenal for the sake of it]
‘He has told me the things he wanted to tell me, which is totally logical and I understand. He wants me to play more.
‘If I wasn’t able to leave this summer, it was because of the opportunities I had.
‘It wouldn’t have been good to leave for leaving’s sake, but it’s certain that eventually, even in January, I’m going to have to ask myself the question again.
‘It won’t be easy to find the right solution and take the right decision, but we’ll look at the opportunities.’
