Danny Welbeck Says Olivier Giroud was the Best Striker He Played With
Danny Welbeck, former Manchester United striker, has picked Olivier Giroud as the best striker he’s ever played with, leaving out Cristiano Ronaldo.
Welbeck, now playing for Brighton, previously played for both Manchester United and Arsenal. He recently scored the decisive goal in Brighton’s FA Cup victory over Newcastle.
Throughout his career, Welbeck has shared the pitch with some top-tier forwards like Ronaldo, Giroud, and Dimitar Berbatov. Speaking to Sky Sports, he reflected on those experiences.
“I didn’t get to play many games with Ronaldo, but training with him for a couple of years was incredible,” Welbeck said.
He also praised Berbatov’s quiet confidence, saying, “He knew how good he was.”
However, it was Giroud who stood out the most for him. “I loved playing alongside Olivier. We really clicked on the field. He was a top-class striker and a great partner to play with,” Welbeck added.

Maresca said “Enzo Fernández… we’ve signed a winner. Enzo has a winning mentality, he knows how to win – World Cup, Club World Cup. And the main thing is that he’s a winner.”
“I can promise you in the last four or five days, four or five players were asking if he’s coming or not, because they wanted him with us!”
PSG manager Luis Enrique has shared his thoughts on who should win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, saying he believes the award should go to one of his players.
He said, “The Ballon d’Or should go to a PSG player, We have players who have won the Champions League. We have Fabián, who won the World Cup as well. We have Ousmane, who won the Ballon d’Or last season. That’s my opinion, but I’m not interested in individual awards.”
The 2026 Ballon d’Or ceremony is scheduled to take place in London on October 26, with the shortlist set to be revealed on September 8.
