Arsene Wenger: 'Olivier Giroud is aware of the pressure to score at Arsenal'

Wenger: 'Giroud aware of pressure'

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has insisted that Olivier Giroud is his own biggest critic as he looks to settle in North London.

Giroud has made three Premier League appearances since making the switch from Montpellier this summer, but is yet to find the net for the Gunners.

Wenger thinks that in time the Frenchman will score goals if he continues to work hard and play well.

He told Sky Sports News: "Giroud is under pressure... from himself.

"Stikers say they are not worried when they don't score, but believe me they are super worried. If he plays well then goals will come."

Giroud has been picked by Wenger to lead the line in tonight's Champions League opener away to his former club.
