The agent of Marseille hitman Andre-Pierre Gignac has talked up a move to Arsenal or Liverpool for his free-scoring client.

Gignac, 28, has struck eight times in as many Ligue 1 outings so far this season, prompting speculation that the Frenchman has courted interest from England.

Reports on Monday suggested that the Anfield club were weighing up a January move for the forward, while Arsenal are still short on striking options due to Olivier Giroud's prolonged absence.

"Given the fact that he is not very old, he has a real market value," agent Christopher Hutteau told L'Equipe.

"This is a striker with a relatively atypical profile, responsive to the physical challenge, the archetypal player who can succeed at a big club.

"He can play in England, Arsenal or Liverpool , no problem. For me, it is between £9.5m and £11m."

Gignac will be out of contract with Marseille next summer.
