Nice sports chief Grimandi: I want Giroud; I signed him for Arsenal

The former Arsenal scout took charge at OGCN earlier this year.

He revealed: "Of course it's tempting. Olivier, I know him very well, it's me who brought him from Montpellier to Arsenal.

"It all depends on where he puts his priority.
