Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud is reportedly wanted by Everton in the summer transfer window.

Adrian Clarke said on The Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast show on talkSPORT on Monday morning (broadcast from 6am, July 3, 2017) that Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud would be the perfect replacement for Romelu Lukaku at Everton.

According to a recent report in The Sun, Everton are interested in signing Giroud from Premier League rivals Arsenal in the summer transfer window.

It has been reported that Ronald Koeman’s side are planning a £20 million move for the France international striker this summer.

West Ham United and Marseille are also credited with interest in the 30-year-old former Montpellier star.

During the 2016-17 campaign, the former Tours striker could make only 11 starts in the Premier League for the Gunners, scoring 12 goals and providing three assists in the process.

Former Arsenal midfielder Clarke, who now works as a pundit for talkSPORT, believes that Giroud would be a brilliant signing for Everton if Lukaku leaves Goodison Park in the summer transfer window.

According to The Sun, Premier League champions Chelsea want to sign Belgium international striker Lukaku from Everton this summer.

“I think it is a brilliant fit for Everton, and if they are going to sell Lukaku, which they are, then Giroud would be the perfect man,” said Clarke said on The Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast show on talkSPORT on Monday morning (broadcast from 6am, July 3, 2017).
