Stewart Robson expects Olivier Giroud to boost Arsenal

Former Arsenal midfielder Stewart Robson is confident that new Gunners signing Olivier Giroud will be a success at the Emirates.

The France striker officially agreed to move to the Premier League outfit on Monday on a long-term contract.

"I think it's a good signing," Robson told talkSPORT. "I've seen Giroud play for France and Montpellier and he's an all-round striker. "He's not got pace but he's got enough athleticism to get in behind people. He's very good in the air and his link-up play is good."

The 25-year-old is Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger's second signing of the summer so far following the acquisition of Germany frontman Lukas Podolski.
