Arsenal will reportedly complete the signing of Olivier Giroud after the European Championships.
The 25-year-old has been touted as one of the Gunners' potential summer signings in recent weeks, despite the Montpellier striker talking down a possible move to the Emirates.
It is understood that the frontman has informally agreed a four-year deal worth up to £12m with the North London outfit, which is expected to be finalised following Euro 2012, according to France Football.
The Frenchman has netted 33 goals in 71 appearances for Montpellier.
