Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud has won the accolade of being the Premier League's most attractive player, it was announced today.

To celebrate Valentine's Day, bookmakers Paddy Power surveyed a panel of 250 American women to find out which football stars set pulses racing across the Pond.

Giroud topped the list ahead of Sunderland's Santiago and Leicester's Matty James.

Other stars to receive a thumbs up from the females of the US included West Brom's Ben Foster, Manchester City's Jesus Navas and QPR's Charlie Austin.

Burnley, meanwhile, topped the "league of lookers" table as part of the survey.

"I'm sure the lads will all be flattered when they hear the news," a spokesperson from Burnley FC said.
