5 Footballers Who Plays Like Arsenal’s Olivier Giroud: Featuring A German Tank

Olivier Giroud infuriates fans and then gets them off their feet with his performances, last season, he was felt the fire of many Arsenal supporters with his wastefulness in front of goal, something that did cost Arsenal the tie against Monaco in the UEFA Champions League and saw them getting dumped out in the knockout round.

Giroud though does have decent stats in his time at Arsenal; Giroud has scored 74 goals in 163 appearances for the Gunners and does find the back of the net more often than not. His finishing skills are there for all to be seen and his heading ability is probably right up there in terms of accuracy and strength but his consistency is the problem.

World football does have quite a few similar players to Olivier Giroud and we list out five players who are pretty similar to the Frenchman.

5. Aritz Aduriz

His name might be a bit of a tongue twister but Aritz Aduriz is one of those players that you do not want to go up against when it comes to a heading battle. The Spanish striker at Athletic Bilbao has over 100 goals for the Basque club and is one of the most lethal strikers in Spain.

Aduriz is known for his great leap and heading ability and doesn’t look like he is stopping anytime soon, even though he is 34-years-old.
