RMC INFO SPORT - According to reports, Arsenal will start discussions with Olivier Giroud in the coming hours.

:blink:

yes from that article, it says that the club prefer to sell him to either Arsenal or Chelsea, hoping to secure a loan deal for either Chamakh or Lukaku.Arsenal should be making a bid in the next hours. basically this week.

I didn't think that there's be much of interest in RMC.fr's - no, I don't know how reliable they are -

article

about

Arsenal

closing in on Montpellier forward Olivier Giroud, but it's nice to be wrong. Although Arsenal look like they're in pole position to nab the striker (and for fairly cheap, too - €12M is the quoted price), Montpellier president Louis Nicollin has indicated he'd be more than happy to deal with

Chelsea

as well:

Le club de Louis Nicollin préférerait le transférer à Arsenal ou Chelsea pour récupérer

Marouane Chamakh

ou

Romelu Lukaku

, en prêt, dans la transaction.

Loosely translated, that means that Montpellier would have preferred to sell to Arsenal or Chelsea because they want one of Marouane Chamakh or Romelu Lukaku on loan. Google translated, it starts talking about Yoann Gourcouff because Google Translate

is possessed by some sort of demon witch or something

.

Anyway, this is of interest on two fronts. One is that we could probably acquire Olivier Giroud and for fairly cheap if we wanted. If Arsenal are in for him while

Robin van Persie is there, he must be willing to play second fiddle, and since Chelsea can offer higher wages it wouldn't be impossible to snatch him out of the Gunners' cold, grasping hands. Secondly, it sounds as though Montpellier could be a completely viable loan option for Lukaku, which would be fantastic - he'd be playing in a competitive league and potentially in Europe too.

So keep an eye on this transfer. I don't expect anything to go through soon, but if Arsenal do buy Giroud and don't send Chamakh the other way, I could definitely see Lukaku heading to France. And if they don't manage to secure that deal, Giroud would be a very nice option for Chelsea anyway.

How can you even compare Gervinho to Giroud? Gervinho is brainless, sweaty player, while Giroud has great positioning in the box and is in the right place at the right time.

Sorry if my post confused you. I didn't compare the players, not in the slightest. I merely compared the expectations...
