Could the man to fire Arsenal to silverware be under their nose? (video)
All the shenanigans regarding Arsene Wenger and his search for a striker has lead to Arsenal fans feeling frustrated. Gonzalo Higuain will officially be announced as a Napoli player today despite a move to the Emirates looking nailed on, and Liverpool are trying their best to bat away the Gunners’ interest in Luis Suarez. But could the forward that they are looking for be under their nose.
No, I am not talking about Gervinho. But Olivier Giroud, who has been in blistering form in pre season. The Frenchman has hit five goals in three games so far, including a hat-trick against Vietnam, and is staking his claim for a forward spot next season.
The situation is similar to the teacher of a class asking anyone who wants to read aloud, while the kid in specs at the front waves his arm ferociously to try and get the said teacher’s attention.
Whether or not he will get it is another story.
The 26-year-old hit 11 goals in 34 games last season for the Gunners while also creating 34 chances but he has been widely dismissed as the man to fire the club to silverware next season.
Could it be, Gooners?
