Giroud quashes rumours his wife wants him to quit London and declares...

Olivier Giroud has quashed rumours his wife wants him to leave London and admitted: I want to stay at Arsenal.

The married striker was caught smuggling women into the team hotel on nights before home games by a Sunday newspaper earlier in the season. This prompted reports that the 27-year-old's wife wanted him to quit London and return to France.

But Arsenal's 20-goal hitman has denied speculation he'll be looking for a new club in the summer.

He said:

"You shouldn't listen to that. A lot of things were said. I'm still happy in London and with Arsenal and think I will be in the future. 

"I have a contract until 2016 and I'm an Arsenal player. I want to be here next season, at least that's my will."

Earlier this month it was reported Arsene Wenger had lost patience with his £12million signing from Montpellier and was looking to replace him this summer.
