He's an intelligent player and likes one-touch link up stuff that he probably wasn't suited to at Man Utd. Not sure we can use him as the battering ram that Wenger likes using Giroud for, but he hasn't had a chance in that role yet.
It's a fairly low-risk signing. If it all goes south he's a young, England international forward so the same guys that keep buying Shane Long will sign him for £15m. I don't expect a lot of goals from him but hopefully he's a useful cog in the line up and we can start clicking with good movement in the final third.
