Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud has told The Independent that his clubs’ link with a move for Porto’s Jackson Martinez has spurred him on to produce his best firm.
The France international has scored eleven goals for the Gunners so far this season, and constant speculation of potential new arrivals in his position has made him raise his game.
He moved to the Emirates Stadium in the summer of 2012, and has since racked up one hundred and sixteen appearances in all competitions while his strike against Crystal Palace at the weekend was his fiftieth for the club.
Arsene Wenger’s men rose to third place in the Premier League with Saturday’s victory over the Eagles and they are now twelve points behind table toppers Chelsea.
However, tonight they turn their attention to the first leg of their Champions League last sixteen tie against Wenger’s former club Monaco, with Arsenal priced at 11/20 to win.
