7) Alexis Sanchez (Arsenal)
Not an out-and-out striker, but it has been hinted that Arsenal could use their new £35m signing Alexis Sanchez upfront this season to compete with Giroud for that lone centre-forward role. Also a capable goalscorer from out wide, the Chilean international is a superb talent and will be one to watch in the Premier League this season as among the most exciting new arrivals to the English top flight.
