Montpellier ace would join
Podolski at Emirates, and bit-player Marouane Chamakh could be the
sweetener, as Gunners prepare for future without RvP
Arsenal are reported to have agreed a fee of £13million with Montpellier for France international striker Olivier Giroud.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has been sniffing around the player who
fired Montpellier to the League title in France last season – but now
widespread reports are claiming a fee has been agreed.
Wenger has already brought Germany star Lukas Podolski to the club
this summer and Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood has promised further
signings.
There have been suggestions that Marouane Chamakh could move the other way as part of the deal.
Both Chelsea and QPR were thought to be in the hunt for Giroud, but
Arsenal's reported bid has put them in pole position, because it
activates a £12.8million release clause in the player's contract.
