Gunners laud Olivier: New signing Giroud set to tackle taboos on the terraces
The French league’s top scorer last season was recently voted the country’s sexiest footballer and got his kit off for gay mag Tetu
Olivier Giroud looks set to make waves in the Premier League after posing for a gay magazine in France.
The Montpellier striker is due to join Arsenal in a £10m deal after Euro 2012.
Giroud, the French league’s top scorer last season, was recently voted the country’s sexiest footballer. The 25-year-old has now got his kit off for gay mag Tetu.
He features on the front cover of the Paris-based monthly, proudly ?declaring: “I have no taboos.”
Montpellier owner Louis Nicollin has repeatedly made headlines with a string of anti-gay comments.
But Giroud told Tetu: “I would be delighted if my ?gesture can help change the mentality of some people ?involved in football.
“I don’t see any difference between a gay person and a straight one. Tetu is a ?magazine just like any other.”
Giroud will move to Arsenal once Euro 2012 is over.
