Arsenal have confirmed that France striker Olivier Giroud has agreed to sign a long-term deal with the North London club.

The 25-year-old completed a medical and agreed terms on Monday evening with the Premier League outfit and will officially make the switch from Montpellier in July.

"I am delighted to be here at Arsenal and to be part of one of the great teams in English football," Giroud told the club's official website. "It's a huge satisfaction to join this great club and it's been a dream since I was young to play in the Premier League.

"I was attracted by the philosophy of football and [manager] Arsene Wenger's 'touch' at this club. I have always admired Arsenal with its great history and reputation, and I now hope to achieve great things here. I'm very proud to be a Gunner and I will give my best for all the Arsenal fans."

Wenger added: "We are delighted to have secured the signing of Olivier Giroud. He has a very good physical presence and is exceptional in the air, with a great work ethic. We are excited about Olivier joining us and he will add an additional dimension to our attacking options next season."

Giroud scored 21 goals in 36 Ligue 1 appearances for Montpellier last season.
