The French striker has scored seven goals this season, including four during a purple patch in November
Giroud said: 'At the beginning of the season I felt good, but Euro 2012 meant that the preparations had been a bit different for some of us. It meant that I wasn’t completely ready for the start of the Premier League and had to work in a different way.
'Things improved when I scored my first goal, although I had no doubts that if I worked hard in training I could always score. I felt the support of the fans, my team-mates and the staff here, and that was really important to me.
'Getting off the mark against Coventry was a relief, and scoring at West Ham was another.
'That was really the beginning of my season - my ‘good debut’ if you like - and it launched things for me. After that I succeeded in playing well, scoring and making assists, and if I look at my ratio of minutes to goals it’s pretty good.
'It’s been an interesting few months but now I want to do more. I’m an Arsenal player and, rightly, expectations are high.'
