The pair have been friends since they spent a season together at Ligue 2 side Tours during the 2008-09 season and Giroud believes Koscielny will only improve in the future.

The 25-year-old striker told the club's official website: "I'd say he's one of the best in the Premier League. I think he can continue to [get even better].

"He's very respectable and serious in his work. You can trust him, and his behaviour on the pitch is important. I like when a guy concentrates and is serious.

"He is like a leader on the pitch, by his behaviour. He is important for the national team now, and he is a very important player for Arsenal. He is a very good player and a very good guy."

france coach deschamps has confirmed that Giroud will miss there game this weekend against Bellarus.

Koscielny might have improvrd a great deal, but he is certainly not up there yet. maybe if he has a very good season, then we can say that
