Before the season he penned a new 12-month long deal.

“Timo Werner? I provoked this discussion with the coach because I wanted to make him understand initially to be transparent with me that I had not made this end of the season when I scored 8 goals out of my 10 starts in Premier League for nothing, Giroud told Bein Sports.

“I fought to get back into the team after a transfer window where I was convinced to leave Chelsea. The coach gave me this chance to come back to the team and I took it. I did a good job, I discussed it with the guys including Azpi (César Azpilicuelta), it is thanks to my performances that the team was also able to reach the Champions League, and I was proud of it.

«We have a lot of offensive elements».

“Now it wasn’t to leave at the start of this season, although I know the competition will be even tougher. I still want to believe in it and fight for my place. I know football can go fast. I was discussing it with him, it is true that the arrival of Timo is an additional motivation, therefore necessarily an additional competition knowing that he can also evolve on one side. He does it in the national team and in Leipzig too, he is more at ease with another striker, a true 9.

“So I spoke about it with the coach and since in recent matches he has played on the left, there will be healthy competition with Tammy (Abraham) at the forefront… But it’s true that we have a lot of offensive elements.
