Arsenal all set to open talks with European giants to finalise transfer of striker

By

Arsenal will open talks with Borussia Dortmund to finalise the transfer of Oliver Giroud to the German Bundesliga.

Manager Peter Bosz has identified the Frenchman as a top quality backup ahead of next season.

The German giants will sell Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and are determined to add quality to their offensive department.

Giroud's future remains unclear with Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger making it clear last week that he wants the 30-year-old to stay.

"I have many times said that I have a huge respect for Olivier Giroud for the man he is and the way he loves our club. Even with all the speculation he is focused and does his job. I always said [that I expect him to stay], I was always consistent with that.

"[How he will play?] Lacazette will play most of the time as centre forward.

"He can play in any system because he's a provider as well, he can combine and play in a 442. At the moment he plays a little bit behind Giroud, tonight he was more on the left, and he can play in that position as well."
