Arsenal Olivier Giroud: Wenger I won't settle for such limited playing time

Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud issues warning to Arsene Wenger: 'I won't settle for such limited playing time'

Olivier Giroud has issued a play-me-or-sell-me warning to Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger ahead of the summer transfer window.

The France international played a peripheral role for the final weeks of the season as Wenger switched between Giroud and Danny Welbeck.

Marseille, who are also keen on Laurent Koscielny, are monitoring Giroud's situation ahead of a possible summer swoop.

And the 30-year-old insists he will not accept a bit-part role next season.

'Wenger is counting on me even though he hasn't used me much,' he said. 

'I won't settle for such limited playing time.' 

Meanwhile, Arsenal have confirmed the signing of left-back Sead Kolasinac from Schalke on a free transfer.
