Wilshere praises Arsenal pal Giroud for ignoring Suarez rumours

Jack Wilshere has heaped praise on Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud for the way he's ignored speculation over his future.

Giroud has had to put up wit constant rumours of new striker arrivals since the end of last season.

Wilshere says Giroud's response to all the transfer speculation has been spot on.

"He has been really impressive, especially at the beginning of the season when everyone was saying that Luis Suarez was coming in to take his place," he said.

"For someone playing in that position it would have been tough for him to lose his place. But he has shown great character and for me he has been our best player.

"He has got a great physique and a great base of fitness. He's been brilliant."
