#2 Olivier Giroud, Chelsea
Olivier Giroud is one of the most underrated footballers in Europe. The Frenchman moved to Arsenal in 2012, after a brilliant season in Ligue 1 with Montpellier. In his first four seasons at the Emirates, Giroud made 107 starts for Arsenal and scored 57 goals.
He is a hard-working striker, known for his neat link-up play. His first touch is quite exquisite and that is one of the reasons why the Arsenal fans loved him despite his inconsistent goal return.
The last two seasons did not go well for the Frenchman. He wasn't the preferred striker during the 2016/17 season yet he managed to score 12 goals. He fell behind Lacazette and Sanchez in the pecking order at the Emirates earlier this season and a move beckoned.
He moved to Chelsea in January but has made only two Premier League starts so far. Alvaro Morata is Conte’s first choice striker and once again, Giroud is spending most of his time on the bench. He is too good to play the role of a super-sub and it is it not going to change anytime soon.
