Olivier Giroud’s agent talks up move to Napoli in Higuain swap deal

And now Olivier Giroud seems to be looking to take full advantage of the rumours and secure a move to one of Italy’s biggest clubs.

RaiSport journalist Ciro Venerato says Arsene Wenger has offered Napoli £42.2m plus Giroud for Higuain.

The Frenchman’s agent Mickael Manuello has now added fuel to the fire saying the Frenchman would love life in Naples.

“If he was asked to leave, then we would evaluate our options.

“There is no fear in Olivier possibly going to Napoli, it is a magnificent city.

“In Campania, my client could lead a wonderful life, not to mention that the type of game orchestrated by Napoli coach [Maurizio] Sarri could enhance the quality of a centre-forward like him.”

Higuain scored a record-breaking 36 goals in Serie A last season.

But some Arsenal fans may wonder if it is worth paying £42.2m to swap one guy who flopped in a major international final for another.
