The French outfit are willing to pay as much as £20m for the striker, which appears to be a decent deal if the Gunners were to show any interest.

Giroud has been used mostly as an impact substitute this season, having saved Arsenal in times of trouble on a few occasions, however, the 30-year old has often cut a frustrated figure due to a lack of playing time.

Arsene Wenger is still known to an admirer of his rare centre-forward abilities, so we’ll have to wait and see if the former Montepellier player stays or departs. A deal will largely depend upon Wenger’s own future.
