Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger considers striker Olivier Giroud as one of the best fowards in the Premier League.
The Frenchman has scored seven goals already this season for The Gunners and he has been one of the stand-out performers for Wenger’s side, especially as he is currently the only recognised striker at the club.
A lot of talk this season so far has been about the likes of Luis Suarez, Daniel Sturridge, Alvaro Negredo and Sergio Aguero, but Wenger believes his striker is up there with the best of them.
“He is among the best, all of them have different qualities. He is more of a British/English type striker, he uses well his body and his link play with others [is good].”
“His physical presence in the box is massive, especially with the type of team we have, with smaller, technically-mobile players. To have that kind of presence up front is important.”
