Bayern Munich and Napoli have joined Arsenal in the race to sign Montpellier striker Olivier Giroud, according to talkSPORT.

The French striker's goalscoring form this season is believed to have captured the attention of a number of scouts.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is a reported admirer and has been linked with making a bid during the summer.

However, the Gunners may now face competition from Bayern and Napoli, who are believed to be keen on boosting their striking options in the summer.

Marseille are said to value the French international at £14m.
