Married French international takes to Twitter to confirm newspaper allegation that he slept with model.
Check in to Arsenal vs Liverpool
I apologise to my wife, family and friends and my manager, team-mates and Arsenal fans.

I now have to fight for my family and for my club and obtain their forgiveness. Nothing else matters at the moment.

So there you have it.
The 27 year old Arsenal striker was plastered all over the tabloids in relation to a story that suggested that Giroud has not only cheated on his wife with glamour model Celia Kay but he had done so hours before a match whilst staying with the team in a hotel.
The allegation was as follows;
We have proof a married Arsenal player romped with a bikini model in the team hotel just hours before a match.
Last week we told how the player persuaded the 34D beauty to sneak into his room despite strict orders from manager Arsene Wenger about early nights.
She said: “He didn’t seem to care about the match at alll. He asked me to stay the night – he is totally crazy.”
Arsenal planned to fine the star up to £230,000 but relented after he scotched our report. His lawyers wrote a series of letters denying wrongdoing.
Below are the images available on the Sunday Sun’s website which tease readers into paying for a copy of the paper in order to see the “proof”.
Indeed Giroud has decided to take to Twitter to apologise in both English and French, the fact he did so just an hour or two before Arsenal’s clash with Liverpool in the FA Cup is perhaps odd?
Olivier Giroud is due to be rested for the fixture ahead of Arsenal’s massive Champions League encounter with Bayern Munich next week.
Expect countless headlines relating to Giroud’s ability to score….
