Arsenal have named their price for Chelsea target Olivier Giroud, as the Gunners close in on a deal to sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The Mail Online reports that the Gunners will allow the French striker to join Chelsea this month, providing the Blues meet their £35 million asking price.
Antonio Conte’s men have been linked with a loan move for the French forward, as he goes in search of a target man in the final days of the transfer window.
Giroud would be available for the Champions League campaign, unlike Dzeko.
Borussia Dortmund had hoped to sign Giroud as part of the Aubameyang deal, but they may now turn to Michy Batshuayi.
Chelsea have been heavily linked with a move for Edin Dzeko, but talks with the Roma striker are believed to be stalling.
The Premier League champions had agreed a fee with Roma for a double swoop that would see both Emerson and Dzeko join this month, but talks with the player are believed to be holding up the deal.
