Santi Cazorla insists Olivier Giroud can handle being Arsenal's lone centre-forward.

Cazorla is adamant that Giroud is all the Gunners need to continue their title challenge this season.

He said: "He's playing at a great level and improves year on year.

"He's at the same level as the other forwards in the league.

"He's a great striker, and we've seen that since the start of the season. He's also doing great things with the French national team."
