Arsenal confirms interest in Montpellier striker

Giroud has scored 15 times in 20 appearances for Montpellier so far this season.

“We look at a lot of interesting players, and we are following Giroud,” Grimandi told Le 10 Sport.

“We’re following his progress, it’s impossible not to look at the way he’s progressed in the last two years.

“That’s one of the players that we’re currently looking at, but there’s also between 20-30 other players from Europe and South America that we’re keeping an eye on.”

He added: “Now we must try to assess the scope for improvement. I think he has the potential for the best clubs in Europe.”
