Euro 2016 Tips: Top Goalscorer - Olivier Giroud

Found form at the right time with 7 in 7 for the French. The hosts are capable of going all the way with the Arsenal striker leading the line.

If there’s one statistic that I’ve had to check about a dozen times, it’s that Olivier Giroud has scored 31 goals for club and country in 2015-16. How can that be possible when he has come in for so much criticism?! But it is true.

The much maligned Frenchman may have endured a long barren spell for Arsenal but he still struck 16 league goals, and 24 in total for the Gunners. Crucially, he rediscovered his touch by finding the net at Man City before firing a hat-trick just as the domestic campaign ended.

Giroud has carried this form into international action and must now be a certain starter after a strike against Cameroon was swiftly followed by a brace again Scotland. That made it seven goals in seven games for Les Blues; Griezmann has only managed two in 13.

Boylesports offer 14/1 on the 29-year-old claiming the Golden Boot and with Romania, Albania and Switzerland first up, he could get off to a flying start.
