Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud is reportedly on the radar of Everton in the summer transfer window.

Former Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino said on The Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast show on talkSPORT last Friday morning (broadcast from 6am, July 7, 2017) that Arsenal star Olivier Giroud would be perfect for Everton.

Arsenal striker Giroud has been linked with a move to Premier League rivals Everton in the summer transfer window.

The Mirror has credited the Toffees with interest in the France international striker and has claimed that the Gunners want more than £30 million to part company with the former Montpellier star.

Former Chelsea striker Cascarino believes that Giroud would be perfect for Ronald Koman’s Everton.

“Koeman likes a big centre-forward; he had (Graziano) Pelle at Southampton,” said Cascarino on The Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast show on talkSPORT last Friday morning (broadcast from 6am, July 7, 2017).

“He likes that aggressive, powerful player that can lead the line well, has a good touch. I think the Giroud one would be a perfect fit for Everton.”

Everton recently parted company with Belgium international striker Romelu Lukaku, who has joined Premier League giants Manchester United.

Although the Toffees have signed forward Sandro Ramirez this summer, they could do well with a player of Giroud’s calibre and experience.

The France international striker has been on the books of Arsenal since 2012 and is a proven goalscorer in the Premier League.

Giroud may not be a world-class striker, but the Frenchman would be able to lead the line for Everton well enough and could play a key role in their quest to finish in the top six of the Premier League next season.
