Marseille willing to spend £20m Arsenal striker Giroud

Olympique Marseille are continuing to show interest in Arsenal's Olivier Giroud.

Sky Sports is reporting that the Ligue 1 outfit are preparing a £20million offer for the French striker.

Arsenal paid less than £10m for Giroud when he arrived from France in 2012.

Giroud, 30, is contracted with the Gunners until the summer of 2020 but he has operated only as a second choice striker behind Alexis Sanchez this season.

The former Montpellier man is believed to want regular starting football, which is not being afforded at Arsenal, and the lure of becoming Marseille's main man could be enough to see him leave the Emirates Stadium this summer.
