Giroud was courted by Everton in the summer and recently admitted that he was 'very close' to making the move.


He also revealed that French duo Marseille and Lyon had expressed an interest in him but that he had wanted to remain in England.

However, an opportunity to join an Italian giant may prove too much to turn down for 31-year-old Giroud, who realistically has one major move left in his career.

Argentine Mauro Icardi is the only recognised striker at Inter while it is reported that Giroud may be signed by Juve to replace Mario Mandzukic.

The forward joined the Gunners from Montpellier in 2012 and has gone on to bag 100 goals in 237 appearances for the club, winning three FA Cups.Ā 

However, he is yet to start a Premier League game this season, with Arsene Wenger choosing to deploy him as an impact substitute.
