Arsenal boss Wenger won't rule out buying Giroud cover

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger won't rule out buying a replacement for the injured Olivier Giroud.

Despite losing Giroud for up to four months, Wenger has ruled out panic-buying a replacement, instead choosing to hail Arsenal's quality up front.

"We will try to look around but we want quality and we have quality," the Frenchman said.

"We have fortunately (Theo) Walcott coming back soon, I believe (Yaya) Sanogo will have an impact. We have (Lukas) Podolski, and (Joel) Campbell who can play centre forward so to find players that are better than the players we have will be difficult.

"We will concede in England that every time you have a problem you can't just buy. After the first of September you still have to live with it."
