OLIVIER GIROUD insisted he is delighted after he signed a new deal with Arsenal.
Giroud arrived at Arsenal from Montpellier in 2012, and has gone on to score 91 goals in 206 games for the club.
The France international signed a new long-term deal with the Gunners yesterday.
And despite a frustrating first half of the season, Giroud insists it was an easy decision to renew his contract.
“Yes, it was a frustrating few months,” Giroud told Arsenal’s official website.
“But obviously we were talking about a new contract since the beginning of the year, so I am very happy to carry on this good adventure with the Arsenal family.
“That’s it, I am very delighted with the club, the boss and myself.
“I want to win even more trophies so hopefully it’s going to be this year."
Giroud’s team-mate Mesut Ozil admitted last week the future of Arsene Wenger was key to him signing a new deal.

Wenger is out of contract at the end of the season, and Giroud admitted the future of the Gunners boss was also key in his decision to re-sign.
“I hope that he is going to stay. He built this club and I don’t think he will leave, we hope,” Giroud added.
“So I wanted to [renew] and I think it was the moment for me to sign a new contract with the club and we’re going to hope that he signs himself as well and a couple of other players to the club as well.”
Giroud’s fellow Frenchmen Laurent Koscielny and Francis Coquelin have also signed new long-term deals with the Gunners.
