The France international striker has an impressive record coming off the bench but his strike rate in the league in recent games is unmatched by his team-mates
Olivier Giroud is Arsenal's most effective striker, that's a fact.
The France international striker has had to play second fiddle to Alexis Sanchez for the most part thus far this season and hasn't even started a game in the league up to now.
That should change against Bournemouth on Sunday though, with Giroud having scored five goals in his last five appearances for the Gunners.
He may not possess the pace to trouble defenders in behind like the electric Alexis can, but there's no doubting the Frenchman's credentials, particularly when assessing his record in recent times.
