Olivier Giroud will continue on with Arsenal beyond the January transfer window despite losing his spot in Arsene Wenger's starting team.

The French forward - who has only made two league starts after losing his starting place in the heart of Arsenal's attack to Alexis Sanchez - has no intention of searching for a new club once the January transfer window opens, according to his agent, Michael Manuello.

"Olivier is very well at Arsenal," Manuello told footmercato.net, as translated by Sky Sports.

"He will make his season here. Nothing is possible in January. He has no plans to move during the winter transfer window "

His role at the club may have been different if injuries hadn't sidelined him to begin the campaign, as Giroud entered the season less than 100 percent fit following his participation at Euro 2016 with the French national team.

However, his goal-scoring output hasn't been impacted by limited opportunities, as he's fou the back of the net five times in 11 appearances in all competitions.
