Most people would think that Oliver Giroud had a poor first season in the Premier League. Although, he did in the end manage to score 11 league goals which wasn't terrible, but Arsenal wanted more for their £12 million investment. They have certainly got that this season with the French forward scoring seven goals so far this season. It's not just about the goals that he has scored as he has been the complete striker that the Gunners needed, his form actually ranks him as the sixth most in form player in the EPL this season with an average rating of 7.64. The player has also provided four assists, so is clearly challenging Mesut Ozil to be the club's most creative player. Giroud has played a big part in all the good things that Arsenal have done this season, so fans will be hoping that he can just continue to do that. Like all the players on this list, he is on form and hopefully they can all keep this form going until the end of the season. Of course, the forthcoming transfer window may also keep things interesting.
