Oliver Giroud has been warned by France manager Didier Deschamps since facing with a limited playing time at Arsenal this season.
According to Deschamps assistant manager Guy Stephan, the French international forward is more and more open to a departure from Emirates, and his lack of playing in club may cause a problem for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
“It’s clear that playing time is not enough. Ddier has already had the opportunity to talk about it. He has to find a solution in the coming weekes. It’s up to him [Giroud] to see. Now he has to play more.” Stepahan told on the French media.
The 31-year-old striker, who has passed the 100-goal mark for the Gunners this season, has found the target 29 times in 69 appearances for his country.
But he has seen just 252 minutes of English Premier League campaign in 2017/18 edition and is yet to start an English top-flight fixture this term.
Speaking to an English media, Giroud is keen to find more starts at Arsenal or possibly a loan at other clubs to improve his football playing time.
He also admitted that he gets some assurances that his playing time in the second half of the season, it would not be a surprise if he were to consider any offers in January.
“In January, I will have to ask myself the question what the manager advises, it matters, a loan can be a solution, but I don’t know if Arsene will want.” Giroud said
“Didier was used at rallies to warn me about this. So a wise man is worth two. He told me things he had to tell me, which is quite logical and what I understand. He wants me to play more.
“I have the World Cup at the back of my mind weekly, almost daily. Each time I go onto the ground, it’s to be more clinical and keep on track for the World Cup.” he added.

Remains a major problem, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said he had no intention to let Giroud go this season despite his lack playing time at the club. Even if he asks for it, the forward may have a hard time getting an exit certificate.
