# Marseille prepared to pay big money for Giroud

Ligue 1 side Marseille are prepared to cough up a massive sum of £20m to lure Olivier Giroud away from Arsenal this summer, Sky Sports have claimed.

The Frenchman has had a difficult time for the Gunners so far this season, falling out of favour on a number of occasions and often finding himself on the bench.

Since his move from Montpellier, he’s always had a fairly good return in goals throughout the course of the years but has never really hit the heights that many had hoped for.

Giroud has clinched some important goals for the Gunners this season but with a £20m fee on offer to those higher up at the club, it could be a transfer too good to turn down, with the France international touted with a return to his homeland.
