Yes we talk about great strikers in football most (if not all) of the time,and while doing so we mention a whole lot of players,the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo,Lionel Messi,Lewandoski,Mbappe,Haaland, Ibrahimovic,and a whole lot more. But there is this player whom we always seem to take out of the picture while having discussions like this, a great player indeed who has proven himself in all competitions and in all leagues he had gotten the opportunity to play in. This man is none other than the star man OLIVER GIROUD

Having played in almost all popular leagues (currently in Seria A) this player has made a name for himself,some might say he's always lucky,maybe,but he plays important roles in the team. he has a great scoring ability and his heading accuracy is top notch , just like the recently won Seria A title by his team ...he contributed by scoring 2 goals in their final match.
The french man has acquired a good number of trophies for both club and country which we're going to discover in this post
But before we go into that, I'll like to brief you a little about the brilliant striker (though some of us know 🙄🙄😁)
