Olivier Giroud (French pronunciation: [ɔlivje ʒiʁu]; born 30 September 1986) is a French footballer who plays for English club Arsenal and the France national team. He plays as a striker and is known for his size, physical style of play, heading ability, shot power, strength and link-up play. He is also associated with making runs to the front post that outwit defenders.
He began his career at Grenoble in Ligue 2 before joining Tours in 2008. In his second season at Tours, he was the division's top scorer with 21 goals, earning him a move to top-flight Montpellier. Giroud was again the top scorer with 21 goals in the 2011–12 season, giving the club their first ever Ligue 1 title. He then moved to Arsenal for an estimated £9.6 million. Giroud won the FA Cup with Arsenal in 2014 and 2015, and is one of only seven players to score 50 Premier League goals for the club.
Giroud made his full international debut for France in 2011. He has earned over 40 caps, and was part of the teams which reached the quarter-finals at UEFA Euro 2012 and the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
