I

L’Equipehave today taken the pulse of the French public ahead of this summer’s European Championships.The leading French media outlet have asked readers to vote on which strikers should be picked by Didier Deschamps for this summer’s competition in their own back yard.The results of the survey were interesting, while over 1.1 million votes were cast by readers.The number one striker according to the fans is Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann.Second in the list was Manchester United’s Anthony Martial, while third in the results was Arsenal centre-forward Olivier Giroud.Martial has indeed shown flashes of quality for United this season, however his selection over the more established Giroudwas definitely a turn up for the books.Behind the Red Devil and Gooner was Real Madrid bad boy Karim Benzema, followed by West Ham’s signing of the season Dimitri Payet.Some of the other results are listed below.L'Equipe readers' choice of France attackers at Euros – in order of votes: Griezmann, Martial, Giroud, Benzema, Payet, Coman.
