„West Ham“ team is seriously targeting Frenchman Olivier Giroud. London's „Arsenal“ forward should leave the club in the near future, but he is more associated with a move to France.
These talks are further fueled by the fact that „Arsenal“ is close to reaching an agreement for „Lyon“ forward Alexandre Lacazette for 50 million pounds.
„West Ham“ is lastly trying to prevent the forward's return to his homeland, despite the fact that he could be included in the deal for A. Lacazette's acquisition.
It is reported that „West Ham“ is willing to pay 20 million pounds for the forward, and to pay him a weekly salary of 130 thousand pounds. This would be the highest transfer fee that „West Ham“ has ever paid for a footballer. So far, the most expensive player was Andre Ayew, who moved to the Hammers for just over 18 million pounds.
Comparing this to the salary that the „West Ham“ club is willing to pay O. Giroud, Dimitri Payet was earning 110 thousand pounds per week in England.
