​Borussia Dortmund emerge as candidate for Arsenal striker Giroud

Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud has become a target for Borussia Dortmund.

The Bundesliga club are lining up a replacement for Chelsea-bound Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

And according to the Mirror, new Dortmund boss Peter Bosz wants Giroud to fill the Gabon international's boots.

Giroud hinted that he may leave the Gunners when speaking at the club's third-kit launch in Sydney.

"It (leaving) is an option to be honest with you," said Giroud.

"I'm here in pre-season, I wanted to travel. Some people asked me if I am going to travel or not. I am an Arsenal player and for the moment I am here. I just want to prepare well for the season and we will see later.

Giroud has also been targeted by Everton and West Ham United.
