Giroud 20/1 To Top Score In Debut Season
Olivier Giroud has signed for Arsenal today and the French striker is 20/1 with William Hill to take the English game by storm and be this seasons top goal scorer in the Premier League with Arsenal 6/1 to be crowned champions in May.
Giroud is Arsene Wengers second signing in attack this summer with Lukas Podolski already signed before Euro 2012. Podolski is 6/4 to net more goals than Giroud in his debut season with Giroud at 1/2 to outscore his German counterpart.
With all the new signings in attack thus far for The Gunners, the future of Robin Van Persie still stands in the balance. Hills believe the Arsenal captain could go either way with it being 5/6 he stays and 5/6 he doesnt. If he does go, Manchester City are 6/4 to pick up the Dutchman. Juventus are 3/1, Manchester United are 6/1 and Real Madrid are quoted at 10/1.
Despite the positive signings at the Emirates, the Gunners are fancied to end up trophy less come May. William Hill have them at 1/4 to pick up no trophies, 25/1 for a Premier League and FA Cup double and 1000/1 for a clean sweep of the FA Cup, the Capital One Cup, the Premier League and the Champions League.
Giroud is a positive signing from Wenger but whether Van Persie stays or not is vital. A bit of luck, keeping RVP, an injury free campaign and a full return to fitness and form for Jack Wilshere is still needed to convince people that Arsenal are serious challengers, said William Hill spokesman Mark Young.
