ARSENE WENGER believes Olivier Giroud's recent improvement is down to an improved attacking performance from his team.

Giroud scored five times in March and was awarded with the Barclays Player of the Month.

The French striker has bounced back from a disappointing night against Monaco in the Champions League and Wenger feels Giroud has benefited from an increase in self-belief at Arsenal.

He told Arsenal Player: “He (Giroud) was always committed but his concentration and composure in front of goal is better.

Olivier Giroud has been in great form for Arsenal

“His technical link play with other players around the box is much better, and I think as well that Olivier benefits from the fact that we play in the final third.

“When you play far from goal, it’s not so much his game. He’s more a player who needs to dominate a game and to play in the final third. When you have that, he’s a very dangerous player.

“The fact that we have a little bit more confidence, that we are dominating play more in the final third of the opponent, allows him to be more efficient.”
