Monaco are understood to be the latest club in the hunt for Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud's signature.

Monaco are understood to be the latest club in the hunt for Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud's signature.

The Mirror claims that the French forward, who was reportedly offered to both Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund, is now being considered for a return to the top flight in his home country.

Previous reports linked Giroud with Chelsea, who want to sign a striker, and German outfit Dortmund, who are expected to lose Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to the Gunners having already sold Guido Carrillo to Southampton.

Should Giroud consider the alleged offer from Monaco, it will be his second spell in France after spending time in the country playing for Montpellier and Ligue 2 side Tours.

The 31-year-old, however, reportedly wants to stay in London, with Chelsea his favoured option.
