Giroud seeks improvement

Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud is confident he can improve his performances for the club next season.

The Frenchman arrived from Ligue 1 outfit Montpellier in the off-season and scored 17 goals in his first season for the Premier League club.

But the France international believes he still has more to offer and is confident that he can improve on his debut season in English football.

“For me it’s a good season,” he told the club’s official website.

“I’ve scored 17 times and got 10 assists. I’m happy with that statistic but I think I can improve my game and my relationship with my team-mates.

“I’m sure that next season will be better. I always want to improve myself so I’m very confident for next year. For the first season, it’s not been so bad.

“For a first season in a league like the Premier League, it’s never easy to play very well, like Didier Drogba or Thierry Henry.

“I was always looking for the Premier League, the atmosphere around the football, how the English live and it’s wonderful for me.

“I was ready for it and I’ve really enjoyed my life in London and at the club. I wanted to show that I feel very well here. I want to keep going and doing my best.”
