Premier League 2012/13: 10 New Arrivals That Will Make Huge Impact

7. Olivier Giroud

Much of Olivier Giroud€™s immediate impact on the Premier League depends on the fate of Gunners captain Robin van Persie, if the Dutchman leaves then the former Montpellier hitman should find himself starting for Arsenal on a weekly basis. Giroud can certainly stake a claim to be a star in England, having finished as top scorer in Ligue 1, firing Montpellier to their first ever title. He is a very tall target man type of player who will look to add another dimension to Arsenal€™s play in the coming season He is proficient with his head and can shoot from range with his left foot. Like Podolski, Giroud has a penchant for spectacular goals so we can look forward to seeing some exceptional efforts for him in the coming season.
