WATCH: Utterly beddable Olivier Giroud finish proves he’s a man in form ahead of Euro 2016

Oh là là

Remember the Olivier Giroud who couldn’t finish his dinner for games on end in the second half of the Premier League season?

Well he seems to have left that tendency in North London because he’s in absolutely scintillating form for his country.

Giroud scored his sixth goal in his last seven appearances for Les Bleus during France’s final warm-up game ahead of Euro 2016.

The striker opened the scoring against Scotland with a ridiculous near-post sidefooted flick into the bottom corner.

The fact that France are tournament favourites and that Giroud is likely to lead the line for them suggests to us that having a punt on him being top scorer at Euro 2016 wouldn’t be a foolish bet

But then again, he is Olivier Giroud.
