New Arsenal striker Oliver Giroud is confident Gunners manager Arsene Wenger can take his game to another level.
Giroud, part of France's Euro 2012 squad which was knocked out by Spain in the quarter-finals, has penned a "long-term contract" for an undisclosed fee from Montpellier, which is believed to be £13million.
The 25-year-old spent the early part of his career in the lower French domestic leagues, which included a spell in the same Tours FC side as current Gunners centre-half Laurent Koscielny.
However, after 21 goals in 36 league appearances as Montpellier claimed their first Ligue 1 title last season, there were plenty of suitors for the striker's signature.
Giroud revealed it was the chance to work with Wenger which played a big part in his decision to opt for Emirates Stadium.
"The manager has always been about developing and I hope he can continue to do that with me too," said Giroud.
"I am happy with my choice, and I think that he brings a lot to the French players that are in the team."
Giroud continued in an interview with Arsenal Player: "I can see what happened to me until now and I hope to continue to progress and show that I can impose myself at the top level."
Giroud jetted into London earlier this week and the finer details of his transfer, which Arsenal maintain is "now just the subject of formal processes", were completed on Monday night after the player agreed personal terms and underwent a medical.
The forward is confident he joins a team capable of delivering next season as they look to win a first trophy since the 2005 FA Cup.
"I am confident in the potential of the group and I am convinced that in the future, hopefully next season, we can win something," said Giroud, whose deal with Arsenal will officially commence on July 1.
"I have the weapons to do well here.
"I will need some time to adapt of course, but I am not worried about that. I think I will adapt well."
