Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger must wait for Montpellier striker Olivier Giroud.
The Sun says Giroud will not decide his future until after Euro 2012.
The 6ft 3in striker, 25, fired Montpellier to their first French title with 21 goals.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has been tracking Giroud's progress and is ready with a £15million summer raid.
