With Chelsea strongly desiring to sign a new striker, the Blues have now been linked with Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud.

However, reports claim Arsenal will only sell Giroud if they complete the signing of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Borussia Dortmund.

Recent reports suggest Arsenal are closing in on the signing of Aubameyang from Dortmund which will see Arsene Wenger sanction Giroud’s departure to Chelsea.

However, it is claimed that Wenger won’t sell Giroud to Chelsea on the cheap, as they will demand £35million for their French striker.

Giroud has an excellent goalscoring record in England, with the France international reaching double figures in the Premier League every season he’s been at the Emirates, and the 31-year-old is keen on moving to Stamford Bridge.
