Everton have joined the battle for Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud.

TMW says Everton boss Ronald Koeman is plotting a swoop for Arsenal ace Giroud if Romelu Lukaku moves.

Their UK-based sources indicate that may happen in the not too distant future with talks over a Stamford Bridge return ongoing.

Giroud has been tipped to quit the Emirates when the transfer window opens with Arsenal on the lookout for attacking reinforcements.
