Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud wants to move on from the scandal caused by allegations that he spent the night with an underwear model in the team hotel.
The French international was dropped by manager Arsene Wenger for two matches after reports emerged about the night before the clash with Crystal Palace last month.
But Giroud, who posted an apology to his wife, to Wenger and to the Arsenal fans, is keen to put the incident behind him and has thanked his manager for the way the situation was dealt with.
"The manager's support was very important for me. I was able to discuss things with him. It's good that there was a dialogue. Now I want to move on and make a fresh start," Giroud told L'Equipe.
"There were some things which were true, some things which were false. But I used the pitch as a release. I'm convinced that everything that's happened recently will make me stronger."
Giroud came off the bench to score twice against Everton in the 4-1 quarter-final win in the FA Cup on Saturday and has been facing increased competition for his place from Yaya Sanogo.
