Also i'm an Arsenal fan and can confirm that Giroud was never a prolific scorer haha. He was know for his linkup play, holdup play, aerial threat, and passing abilities. Look at how he was used in the world cup France won. He had 0 shots on target, but he started as their sole center forward in almost every game. Why? His great holdup play and his ability to link up with the other attacking players. He was the ideal target man.
Well when I said he's a prolific scorer I was thinking how he's the #2 all time scorer for France only behind Platini.
