Arsenal’s three best and three worst players this season: Ramsey shines, but Cazorla flops

3) Olivier Giroud

The Frenchman has not only offered goals and assists, but he’s held up the ball brilliantly for Wenger’s side, and been the spearhead of the team. Because he can drop deep and link up play with the midfielders, he gives the likes of Aaron Ramsey and Mesut Ozil the chance to get in advanced positions. In this respect, Giroud is just as important for the team when he isn’t scoring. Despite this, he’s still bagged nine in all competitions, and assisted five.
