Giroud: Mbappe is best striker I've played with

0

Olivier Giroud has named Kylian Mbappe the best striker he's played alongside and has described the "bromance" the pair have ahead of France's World Cup quarter-final with England.

Les Bleus take on Gareth Southgate's Three Lions in Saturday's last-eight clash, with former Arsenal and Chelsea striker Giroud set to line up alongside Mbappe in the French attack.

Giroud scored in the round-of-16 victory over Poland to break Thierry Henry's all-time goalscoring record for France, while Mbappe is currently leading the Golden Boot charts at this World Cup, with five goals.

"Kylian is basically one of the best players I've played with," Giroud said in a press conference. "He is amazing and is still young which is scary as he can still improve.

"He is very efficient and, from the beginning of the competition, he's been crucial for us - very decisive, very competitive. He's obviously the best striker I've played with in all of the teams I've played in.

"We've not seen the best of him, I hope it's going to come soon and he will beat all the records. I know that and you know it as well."
