Olivier Giroud talks up his chances of winning the Golden Boot

Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud has declared that he has the potential to continue with his fine goal scoring form for the season and mount a serious challenge to be the Premier League's top scorer.

Giroud has scored his fourth goal of the league during the Gunners' 3-1 victory over Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.

The French International  believes that the contribution from the star studded Arsenal midfield will provide him with much more chances this season, which would ensure his challenge for the Golden Boot, as long as he is fit and firing.

He told The Mirror: "With this team I can score many goals. Can I finish the league's top scorer? I must have a chance."

Giroud also insisted that he will not be stopped from featuring in the Gunners' opening Champions League match against Marseille on Wednesday due to a minor ankle injury.

He said: "It is not bad. I twisted my ankle but, fortunately, it is nothing major.

"Marseille? Yes, I am OK, I will be fine."
