Five Arsenal players to have impressed at the 2014 World Cup including new £35m signing Alexis Sanchez

4. Olivier Giroud, France

Another Frenchman now and a striker who was given little opportunity by Deschamps due to the presence of Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema.

However, Giroud did manage to get a goal at the tournament and although many are hard on the 27-year-old, his form is improving.
