"Giroud deserves more praise" - Ex Arsenal Star

Olivier Giroud has come under fierce criticism in the past few months but showed his class and fired in against Westham on Tuesday night in a match Arsenal won 3-1.

The Frenchman is the top man who plays alone upfront for the Gunner but Kevin Campbell claimed Arsenal would still be fighting for the title if they had
another forward of the Frenchman’s class.

According to Talksport.com Campbell reckons the 27-year-old deserves more praise for the job he has done this term and feels another top-quality striker may have stopped Arsenal slipping from title challengers to Champions League hopefuls.

“Giroud has been a shining light for Arsenal this season,” said the
ex-Gunners hitman, speaking on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast .
“He has had to lead the line himself for a lot of the season and
now he has scored 17, 18 goals.

"Getting in some goalscoring help could have been the difference
between Arsenal being in a challenging position for the title and
having to fight for fourth place. Olivier Giroud couldn’t play the
whole season on his own.”
