Olivier Giroud backed himself to succeed in north London

Arsenal’s new signing Olivier Giroud has backed himself to succeed at the Emirates after completing his move to the club last month.

And the Frenchman looks set to become the main striker after Robin van Persie revealed he would not sign a new contract.

“I have the weapons to do well here,” Giroud said. “I will need some time to adapt but I am not worried about that.

“I like scoring goals and Arsenal create a lot of chances, so if I do well, then we will do well.”
