Like Africa Top Sports.com, it’s the off-field drama that’s creating waves across the web and European football.
And what a scandal it is! Another footballer caught in a compromising situation, failing to keep a low profile…
The Sun has brought the affair to light!
Olivier Giroud, the French striker for Arsenal, who has been struggling to find form on the pitch along with many of his teammates, has been accused of infidelity. The English tabloid published a photo this Sunday allegedly showing the former Montpellier player naked in a hotel room.
According to The Sun, Giroud had a sexual encounter with top model Celia Kay just hours before a match against Crystal Palace. As a consequence, he is expected to be excluded from playing in the FA Cup match this Sunday against Liverpool, and Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger is reportedly considering imposing a hefty fine of £230,000.
Giroud immediately took to Twitter to publicly ask for forgiveness from his wife, family, fans, and club:
“I apologize to my wife, my family, my manager, my teammates, and the Arsenal supporters.

I must now fight for my family and for my club, to obtain their forgiveness. Nothing else matters now.

Will his apologies be enough?
