Giroud sale is conditional, says Wenger

Arsenal transfer news Manchester United Henrikh Mkhitaryan

Here are ten players that could be on the move before next Thursday.

Giroud has been a valuable player for Arsenal since joining the club from Montpellier in 2012, scoring 105 goals in 252 appearances, but has found first-team opportunities limited this season.

It seems Arsenal have heeded that warning and upped their bid towards Dortmund's stated figure.

Chelsea, on their part, has been on the lookout for a target man all throughout this transfer window.

That means Giroud's only chance to go - he is rumoured to want more regular football between now and the World Cup to secure his place in the France squad - is if Aubameyang or another forward arrives in north London before Wednesday's deadline. Realistically, though, Liverpool are still involved in three competitions and would probably be better served keeping him.

By taking Giroud off the table, Arsenal are assessing how much Dortmund want the French striker, learning in the process how much they can use him in the negotiations with Dortmund to lower the price for Aubameyang. "We are out of the FA Cup and so I will focus on the League Cup, and you can see that Manchester City do the same, so it is hard to win trophies in England". He did not rule out an exit for the 31-year-old, but insisted nobody will be allowed leave the club if nobody is signed.

Giroud might be tempted by a switch to Stamford Bridge though.
