West Ham United are linked with the talented Arsenal man.
West Ham United will need to stump up £20 million to sign Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud, according to Sky Sports.
The France international has been linked with a move to West Ham.
The Mirror reported this weekend that the Hammers would make a move for the Arsenal marksman, who spent much of last season on the bench as Alexis Sanchez thrived in a more central role.
And Sky Sports reveal that the Gunners value the 30-year-old at £20 million.
West Ham paid close to that to sign Andre Ayew Swansea City last summer, but the 27-year-old only managed six Premier League goals in 25 outings.
Andy Carroll bagged seven league goals in 18 appearances, a decent return but the English striker cannot be relied on following an injury-ravaged few years.
Giroud is a very capable striker and some Arsenal fans might be sad to lose him – and you can understand why when he scores goal like the one he hit for France against Sweden on Friday night.
The former Montpellier man, who netted 12 league goals in 11 starts last season, is earning around £100,000-a-week (via The Star) and would unlikely to accept a wage cut from the Hammers.
