Qatar 2022: Jack Wilshere wary about Oliver Giroud as England prepare for France

Jack Wilshere is worried about his ex-Arsenal team-mate Olivier Giroud who is in form for France at the World Cup in Qatar.

Giroud has made history at the 2022 World Cup, becoming France’s all-time record scorer beating Thiery Henry following their victory over Poland in the Round of 16 on Sunday.

The former Arsenal and Chelsea striker , has scored three goals across France’s four games in Qatar.

Giroud helped AC Milan win the Serie A title last season – scoring 23 goals across 57 games – and will be trying to knock out Gareth Southgate’s side on Saturday.

He registered 105 goals in 253 games during his time at Arsenal as the north London club lifted three FA Cups.

Giroud also won the Champions League and Europa League including a fourth FA Cup.

Former Gunners midfielder Wilshere lauded the Frenchman as he told The Sun: ‘What about my old Arsenal team-mate Olivier Giroud. He said

‘If anything, the AC Milan striker has got better since moving to Italy and leaving the Premier League behind where he struggled to get a starting place”.

‘He’s in his mid-30s but he’s in the shape of his life and his finish for the first goal against Poland was real class”

England will have enough to contend with when they face World Champions France in the quarter finals of the FIFA World Cup as the will be looking to shut down Giroud and in-form Kylian Mbappe.
