Once he was preened, Giroud was all smiles for the camera and posed with fans before training with the national side.

The Frenchman, who turned 30 on Saturday, was spotted arriving at the French training camp looking dapper, clad all in black.

He was welcomed into the hall of fame at Arsenal last week, having reached the 100 goal milestone.

But the 6ft4 forward has stuggled to break into the starting 11 at Arsenal, which may frustrate the player in a World-Cup year.

The Frenchman makes regular appearances for France, but competes with a high calibre of teammates in the national squad.

He has however moved into the country's top ten goalscorers of all time following this year's World-Cup campaign and is the first player to score a hat-trick for Les Bleus in 17 years.
