Arsenal fans on Twitter have reacted to the rumour that Olivier Giroud could be heading to Juventus this summer.

Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio has previously claimed that the Serie A champions want to bring the Premier League target man to the club.

Giroud moved to Chelsea in 2018 after making the surprise switch across London from Arsenal.

Arsenal fans shared their thoughts on the player they once used to admire and commented on how he could be sharing a pitch with the modern-day great, Cristiano Ronaldo.

If Giroud does become a Juve player then he will also re-unite with a familiar duo in Aaron Ramsey and Wojciech Szczęsny.

Whilst Ramsey has struggled to establish himself in Italy ever since his move last summer, Szczęsny is thriving in between the sticks and is their number one.

  3. Alexandre Lacazette

  4. Thomas Partey

  5. Mesut Ozil

During his time in England, Giroud has been a marmite-like figure. For some, he doesn’t score enough goals and isn’t that top, top quality centre-forward.

Whilst others feel that he is under-appreciated and has this great ability to get the best out of the players around him, as he proved by helping France win the World Cup in 2018.

But the thought of Giroud moving to Juve has brought out a mixed reaction from the Arsenal faithful.

Given Chelsea’s big summer of spending, which included the signing of the highly-rated, Timo Werner, it will be interesting to see where Giroud ends up.
