5 biggest winners from transfer deadline day

Pep has trimmed his squad considerably and the Citizens are a force to be reckoned with

5) Olivier Giroud

Olivier will be pleased to hear that Perez was the “world class” striker that Wenger signed

The year is 2080, and, with Arsenal having failed in an attempt to resurrect Jamie Vardy, it’s clear that a 92-year-old handsome Olivier Giroud will lead the line as the Gunners first choice striker. Jokes apart, Arsenal may have signed a striker this season in the form of Lucas Perez, but it has been deemed as a panic buy.

At the age of 27 and after six years at the top, only once has Perez scored more than ten goals in a season. Olivier Giroud must be thanking his stars that Wenger failed to sign a superstar striker for the nth consecutive season.

With the Spaniard as his only competition, the Frenchman will not be too worried as he is a more experienced and clinical striker than Perez. Once again, a mediocre Giroud will be the star forward for a legendary club like Arsenal. Sigh.... what a pity.
