OLIVIER GIROUD NOW A GUNNER

Montpellier goal sensation Olivier Giroud has finally completed his much publicised tansfer to Arsenal Football club. The £12million striker was instrumental in Montpellier's Ligue 1 triumph last season and all eyes will be on him to repeat the same feat he accomplished in France. The 6ft 3ins Frenchman who had four substitute apearances for France in Euro 2012 said, "I was attracted by the philosophy of football and Arsene Wenger's 'touch' at this club," Giroud told the official Arsenal website. "I have always admired Arsenal with its great history and reputation, and I now hope to achieve great things here."

Arsene Wenger spoke of the player in this way.

"He has a very good physical presence and is exceptional in the air, with a great work ethic," said Wenger.

"We are excited about Olivier joining us and he will add an additional dimension to our attacking options next season.

"He has proved that he is capable of performing at the top level with club and country, and we saw what a big influence he was in Montpellier's championship-winning side last season


With Lucas Podolski,Giroud and Van Persie in Arsenal's attack next season, the Gunners are beginning to voice their intentions as to what they hope to achieve unlike last season when they left it late in getting players to boost their squad. It would be interesting to get the view of some 'Gunners' fans on this.
