Arsene Wenger: This 'unbelievable' player will start next season as Arsenal's No.1 striker

 ARSENE WENGER has claimed Olivier Giroud will start next season as Arsenal's first-choice striker.

 

Giroud, 29, has been frequently criticised by a number of Gooners for his inconsistent strike rate.
The France international went an incredible 15 games without a Premier League goal before netting against Manchester City earlier this month.
He then hit a hat-trick in the 4-0 win against rock-bottom Aston Villa to finish the season with 16 goals.

Arsenal have been linked with a host of strikers to replace Giroud.
But Wenger is set to give him another chance.
When asked if Giroud would start next season as Arsenal's No.1 striker, Wenger told the BBC: "Yes.
" I believe that Danny Welbeck being out now for a long, long time we will be on the road to look for one more striker.
"After that it's down to compete. Olivier has strong and weak moments so we have to deal with that.
"He is a bit unbelievable - he is in cycles. He scores in spells and then sometimes he scores less."
