Olivier Giroud: The deal is on! (Exactly as we predicted). (Or off, and we never said a word) « Untold Arsenal: Arsenal News. 800,000 visits last month
By Billy “le chien” McGraw, our man on Le Continent.
Arsenal are reported by prime sources, people who know and indeed the Daily Mirror, to have agreed a fee of £13 million with Montpellier for France international striker Olivier Giroud.
Montpellier won the League (“in France” as the Mirror says, helpfully). Oh yes and some other website have said that there are “widespread reports” that “a fee” has been agreed (as opposed to a bunch of pineapples).
There have even been “suggestions” that Marouane Chamakh could move the other way as part of the deal.
He (Giroud) has played 77 times for Montpellier, and scored 33 goals.
