Olivier Giroud has confirmed that talks are under way between himself and Arsenal about an extension to his existing deal with the Gunners.
Giroud joined Arsenal in 2012 from then-Ligue 1 champions Montpellier and still has two years left on his current contract.
The French international striker has had a fruitful first two seasons with Arsenal. In his first season he scored 17 goals and this season he breached the 20-goal mark for the Gunners and scored 22 goals.
Arsene Wenger is happy with his performance at the Emirates Stadium and is willing to give the 27-year-old an extension to his current contract.
