8. Olivier Giroud (Arsenal)
Shots inside penalty area: 73
League goals: 13
Arsenal forward Olivier Giroud has ploughed a lone furrow up front for much of the season, but despite criticism for his finishing, he has scored 13 times in the Premier League, which is certainly a solid tally.
Although his buildup play outside the area is very good, every single one of Giroud’s goals in the English top flight has been within the 18 yard box, and given the close range of his shooting Gunners fans are understandably keen for an upgrade – particularly as the Frenchman has scored the least goals on this list of top shooters.
