#2 Oliver Giroud (France)

The former Arsenal striker joined Chelsea in January after he failed to get enough playing time at the Emirates and in the process, he successfully managed to displace Chelsea's record signing Alvaro Morata.
He is known for his physicality and aerial ability. The Frenchman is also good in his defensive duties and providing key passes.
Despite the brilliant technical abilities of this golden generation of France, Didier Deschamps advised Giroud to make a move to Chelsea to boost his World Cup chances, as the French manager was keen to have him in Russia.
The simple reason why he is so crucial because he has been a super sub for Arsenal so many time and Chelsea as well. When his teams need a goal they bring him on, swing in lots of crosses and he uses his heading ability to score goals. Also, he can act as a target man or focal point for the likes of Dembele and Fekir who can make runs behind the defenders.
