Olivier Giroud (Arsenal)
Although many felt Olivier Giroud was slow to adapt to life in the Premier League after joining Arsenal from Montpellier last year, the French forward still racked up a highly respectable 17 goals for the Gunners, and created many more with his fine link-up play upfront fitting in perfectly to the style of play adopted by Arsene Wenger at the Emirates Stadium. A tall and strong target man, Giroud is a constant threat on the floor or in the air, and looks even better this season with seven goals in thirteen games already as one of the in-form players in this confident-looking Arsenal team.
