The Gunners snapped up Giroud from French outfit Montpellier in the summer of 2012 and he quickly became a vital part of the club's attacking options.
His injury earlier this term prompted Wenger to enter the transfer market to buy Danny Welbeck from Manchester United to fill the gap left by the Frenchman's absence.
