Arsenal will demand a sizeable fee for Olivier Giroud amid interest from West Ham and Everton.

Arsenal are unwilling to let Olivier Giroud leave the club for less than £30 million, The Mirror report.

Everton and West Ham are both interested in signing the striker, along with French side Marseille.

Giroud’s place at Arsenal is under threat from the club’s record signing Alexandre Lacazette.

Even last season he only made 11 Premier League starts, with a further 18 appearances coming from the bench.

Giroud performed well, scoring 12 times, but the fee Arsenal are demanding is a high one for a 30-year-old.

It is an important season for the striker, with a place in France’s 2018 World Cup squad up for grabs.

Lacazette is one of his competitors and spending a season behind him at Arsenal would not be a good look.

Suitors Everton are flush with cash and are set to benefit from a major windfall from Romelu Lukaku’s departure to Manchester United.
