I’m sure Giroud would rather go back to France than Turkey, no? Not a slight at Turkey at all just would have assumed that’s all.

Or could we have a case of Arsenal not actually signing any additional strikers and keeping Giroud upfront.
Saturday August 12th… Giroud leads the line ??

£20 million would be pretty much out of the question for Besiktas unless they make a few sales beforehand.
The Black Eagles are under Financial Fair Play pressure.
£20m transfer fee? Have you forgotten about FFP? Surely a loan or nothing…
