Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud has been hailed as among the best strikers in Europe by manager Arsene Wenger, following his hat-trick in the Champions League in midweek.
Giroud netted his first Arsenal treble in Wednesday's 3-0 win at
Olympiacos - a victory that saw the Gunners usurp their Greek opponents
in Group F and secure qualification for the knockout stages.
Former Montpellier striker Giroud has come in for criticism from some
quarters for his finishing, which many believe prevents him from being
considered in the top pantheon of modern strikers.
But Wenger praised for his countryman after securing his 13th goal in 23 appearances across all competitions this season.
"Look at his record, he has special qualities that are difficult to
find," Wenger told a press conference ahead of their clash with Aston
Villa in the Premier League on Sunday.
"His number of goals and games you have to give him credit and he's not
only a goalscorer. He's a guy who keeps working for the team and yes I
think he's among the best strikers in Europe."
