Tottenham and Portsmouth are being linked with Tours FC striker Olivier Giroud.

The Daily Record says Celtic boss Tony Mowbray, right-hand man Mark Venus and chief scout John Park all jetted out to run the rule over free-scoring £3million-rated Tours hitman Olivier Giroud in a Ligue 2 clash with Angers.
