Olivier Giroud is on the verge of making history but the former Arsenal and Chelsea striker still divides opinions.
The 36-year-old who has also defied age will become France’s all time top scorer if he is on the mark against Poland on Sunday in the round of 16. A double against Australia took him to 51 goals for Les Bleus, level with Arsenal legend Thierry Henry who sends Giroud a well done text message after every international goal.
That’s more than former Liverpool and Scotland star Graeme Souness does who in his role as an ITV pundit is not as forthcoming in extolling Giroud’s virtues.
