I carried out a poll the other day asking fellow Gooners who would they want Arsenal to bring in should van Persie leave the club.
Majority of people voted in favour of Montpellier striker, Oliver Giroud. He gained around 47% of the votes.
Fernando Torres came second in the poll by gaining 23% of the votes.
We have been linked with the French striker for sometime now and there have been reports that Arsenal enquired about his availability last week and also offered striker Marouane Chamakh plus £6.4 million for Giroud’s services.
Oliver Giroud will provide a strong physical presence which Arsenal have been lacking up front, for a while now. At 6ft 3ins he will also provide Arsenal with ariel strength.
Even if Robin van Persie does stay at the club, Giroud will be an excellent option for Arsenal as several other strikers at the club are unhappy and looking to leave.
