Gervinho impressed by Giroud and Arsenal's overall strikeforce

Gervinho says the inclusion of Olivier Giroud has given plenty to Arsenal's attacking line.

The French striker joined from Montpellier earlier this summer and Gervinho feels he has a lot to bring to the Gunners attack-minded group which already consists of Lukas Podolski, Theo Walcott, Sant Cazorla and himself.

"I know Olivier Giroud personally from the French league," he told Arsenal Player. "He's a good striker, he's really impressed me and has made a good impression generally.

"These new signings will help us move on and I think they are a good set of strikers.

"We've got lots of options in attack, but every team is different, every team has its own players and every team has got its own qualities up front.

"But the most important thing is that we've got a good strikeforce, we have to concentrate on ourselves, take care of our own business and I think that our attacking options can really make a difference this year."
