Sczcesny and Giroud to return for Southampton clash

Posted on January 28, 2014 by | Comments Off on Sczcesny and Giroud to return for Southampton clash

Arsene Wenger is set to recall Wojciech Sczcesny and Olivier Giroud to the Arsenal starting line-up for this evening’s game at Southampton.

The pair were rested for Friday night’s 4-0 FA Cup fourth round win over Coventry City on Friday evening, though Giroud did make a cameo appearance, getting on the score sheet despite not coming on until the 79th minute.

Midefielders Aaron Ramsey and Mikel Arteta and defender Thomas Vermaelen are all set to return to the match-day squad after recovering from their respective injuries, though Jack Wilshere is doubtful with an ankle problem.

Meanwhile, the club have agreed a deal with sportswear company Puma, according to the Mail Online.

The German manufacturer will become the Gunners kit suppliers from next season, ending their twenty year partnership with Nike.

Elsewhere, Newcastle United have accepted an offer for midfielder Yohan Cabaye from Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint Germain, Sky Sports understands.

Arsenal had been interested in securing the services of the France international themsleves, and saw a bid of around £10m rejected back in August.

However, the 28 year old now looks set to secure a move back to his home country, after two-and-a-half seasons with Alan Pardew’s side.

Posted on August 26, 2013 by | Comments Off on Podolski double inspires Arsenal to victory at Fulham

Arsenal grabbed their first points of the new Premier League season courtesy of 3-1 win over Fulham at Craven Cottage Saturday lunchtime.

Olivier Giroud scored for the third game in row to give the Gunners the lead on fourteen minutes, while efforts either side of half time from Lukas Poldolski put the result beyond doubt.

Darren Bent came off the bench for his Fulham debut to hit a late consolation for the hosts, who fall to eleventh place while the Gunners, who will now turn their attention to Sunday afternoon’s North London derby, have propelled themselves up to eighth.

Meanwhile, Newcastle United have told Arsenal that they will need to cough up a £20m for midfielder Yohan Cabaye, according to the Metro.

The France international was the subject of a £10m offer from the Gunners a week ago; a bid that was rejected out of hand by the North East club.

The 27 year old pulled himself out of Newcastle’s opening two games of the season, drawing criticism from fans and pundits alike, and is almost certain to become Arsene Wenger’s latest in a long line of French players to join the club, but only if he matches the Magpies valuation.
