Arsenal has helped me produce my best says Giroud

Olivier Giroud suggests his Arsenal form is the best of his career.

The French striker has scored 13 goals in the Premier League this season with seven of those coming in his past five outings, adding to his Champions League strike against Monaco and his recent FA Cup double in the win over Middlesbrough.

Former Montpellier star Giroud has bettered his 11 league goals from his first season at the Emirates Stadium in 2012/13 and is just three shy of the 16 he tallied last term which proposes to him that perhaps he is enjoying his very best with the Gunners.

"Since I have been at Arsenal, this is perhaps my best period. I have to continue like that. I do not want to stop there," Giroud told RMC Sport.

"I scored 16 or 17 goals in the league last year. I would like to do better and especially help the team achieve our targets. This is the most important.

"Finish second or third would be fine, although we will be hoping Chelsea slip up. Winning the FA Cup is also an objective. I continue my progress. I feel very well at Arsenal. It is important to continue to progress."
