Arsenal aim to offload Bendtner, Arshavin and host of flops after sealing Giroud deal
Posted Wednesday, June 27, 2012 by Dailymail
Arsenal have turned their attention to slashing the club’s wage bill after Olivier Giroud’s capture took their spending to £24million.
The Gunners have confirmed the signing of France striker Giroud from French champions Montpellier.
Speaking to Arsenal TV, the 25-year-old said he found his lack of action at Euro 2012 frustrating but vowed to show why manager Arsene Wenger has forked out £12.8m to land him.

‘I think I have the weapons to do well here,’ he said. ‘I will need some time to adapt but I’m not worried about that.’
Giroud follows Arsenal’s £11m capture of Cologne striker Lukas Podolski.
The club now aim to shift unwanted players, but deals to move Denilson to Sao Paulo, Carlos Vela to Real Sociedad and Sebastien Squillaci to Bastia collapsed last week. They hope to resurrect all three of the proposed transfers.
Arsenal also want to offload Andrey Arshavin, Nicklas Bendtner, Marouane Chamakh, Park Chu-young and Johan Djourou.
