​Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud has scored a goal or registered an assist every 94 minutes in Premier League games since August 2015, making him more frequently involved in goals than any other player in the Premier League.





Although Arsenal fans and pundits have regularly called for Arsene Wenger to find an 'upgrade' on Giroud, this statistic perhaps reinforces the idea that he is somewhat under-appreciated. Although he started several games this season on the bench, Giroud has still managed seven goals; an impressive return that certainly confirms his value to Wenger's side.

Most frequent PL goals+assists since Aug '15 (25+ starts):

The stat also surprisingly puts him ahead of some of the league's biggest-hitters, including Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero, Chelsea forward Diego Costa, teammate Alexis Sanchez and Tottenham star Harry Kane.





Indeed, Giroud has been in impressive form lately and scored in five consecutive games stretching from December into January, including the now-infamous scorpion kick goal against Crystal Palace.





Although Arsenal continue to be linked with a big-money move for a striker - namely Alvaro Morata - in the summer, it's clear they have a perfectly-good hit-man in the 30-year-old France international, who recently confirmed he wants to continue his Gunners adventure after signing a new contract.





He said: "I want to continue the adventure here in this family of Arsenal. I feel good here. When I spoke to the coach, he always told me that I was an important player.





"I know what I am capable of. I just needed to be patient, to work in training and wait for my hour to come."
