Arsenal boss Wenger warns Welbeck: 2-goal Giroud my No1

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has warned Danny Welbeck that Olivier Giroud is his prime striker. Giroud struck twice in their 2-0 FA Cup win over Middlesbrough.

"One of the reasons I bought him (Welbeck) is that he can play central striker and wide," Wenger said.

"I believe he's doing extremely well and is contributing to the team very well. He can play central striker like he did for a long time but the most natural centre forward we have is Giroud.

"All the strikers we have can play in different positions. The only one who can only play centre forward is Giroud, so when Giroud plays the others have to move out wide."
