Giroud eyeing World Cup spot Olivier Giroud is hoping to impress for Arsenal next season and play his way into contention for a trip to the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
The France international striker enjoyed a respectable first campaign in English football, scoring 17 goals in 47 appearances in all competitions.
Giroud now wants to use that as a platform to build on to ensure he is an important player for club and country over the next 12 months.
