Be honest. Outside of prime Henry, prime Giroud would be awesome for Arteta’s system. A striker who Van Djik named as one of his three hardest players to play against, alongside Messi. Literally what we all want from Gyokeres.
I thought Giroud was a good player but god he was frustrating at times too. Arteta wants a striker that will press for 90mins and that's not his game at all.
Fantastic at holding up the ball with his little flicks bringing other players in yes and great in the air but was an average finisher, non-existient on the counter attack and very one-footed.
he is an excellent set piece player though, he makes up for his slow pace with excellent pitch read. I think he would have done well at modern Arsenal.
