West Ham are closing on a deal for Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud.
The Sun says if Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette does finally go to Arsenal, Giroud could be on his way out of the Emirates for £20m.
The Frenchman, 30, wants regular first-team football and is determined to stay in London if he does leave the Gunners.
Those two factors put West Ham in pole position to bag a targetman who has netted 96 goals in five years in England.
Hammers boss Slaven Bilic is desperate for more firepower after Andre Ayew, Andy Carroll and Diafra Sakho all suffered injury-wrecked campaigns.
