Top 5 underrated strikers in the EPL right now

Troy Deeney led the line for Watford last season alongside Odion Ighalo

#4 Olivier Giroud (Arsenal)

While the Frenchman has been the first choice centre-forward at the club for some time now, Arsenal fans do not perceive of him as one of the top strikers in the league and that is one of the reasons that make him one of the most underrated strikers in the league.

He scored 24 goals in 54 appearances last season, a personal best for the striker ever since he joined from Montpellier and has been amongst the top 3 goal scorers at his club since signing. Giroud has a great ability in front of the goal, is a constant aerial threat and contributes to his side defensively from the front.

However, he can be inconsistent and the same has often cost his team in recent past, as they have slipped at crucial times during the season, despite being termed as favourites. Should he prove to be more consistent in the upcoming season, Arsenal could prove to be an unstoppable force in the upcoming season.
