Giroud to leave Arsenal as Lacazette arrives

Olivier Giroud is set to leave Arsenal.

The London Evening Standard says Alexandre Lacazette's arrival at Arsenal is expected to signal the end of Giroud's time at the club.

Everton are leading the race for the Frenchman's signature despite interest from West Ham.

Giroud's £20m asking price is not prohibitive and the 30-year-old is open to moving to another Premier League club with his primary concern securing first-team football in a World Cup year so he can stay ahead of Lacazette in France's pecking order.

Marseille have also registered an interest while Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas discussed the possibility of signing Giroud during negotiations to sell Lacazette.
