“Theo Walcott is my favourite supplier” – Olivier Giroud

Olivier Giroud is happy with his new found form for Arsenal, and has revealed his understanding with Theo Walcott, has helped him score goals. The former Montpellier frontman took time to adjust to English football, but now has five goals in his last five matches.

“Looking at the goals from last weekend it was another cross from my favourite supplier Theo. The more we play together, the better it is – and Theo always seems able to find me,” the Frenchman said.

“I know in the past Arsenal fans have moaned about the lack of crosses but hopefully my heading ability and height can give other options to the team.”

Giroud also warned the Gunners about underestimating his former club, as they meet in the Champions League next Wednesday.

“When I was there last season we won lots of games by the odd goal, games in which lots of things seemed to go our way, we were riding a wave,” he said. “It seems that wave isn’t there any more but we mustn’t take anything for granted.

“It’s a must-win match for us because Arsenal have to go through.

“Montpellier have nothing to lose now they are already eliminated and that’s when some teams are at their most dangerous.

“Remember, Montpellier didn’t become champions of France with no talent.”
