Must Read: Chelsea agree deal to sign Premier League striker
Chelsea have agreed a deal with Arsenal to sign Olivier Giroud according to Di MarZio. The Italian journalist claims that the two clubs have agreed a fee of £15 million plus bonuses.
Di Marzio claims that Chelsea went in for the French striker after they failed rope in Edin Dzeko. The AS Roma striker was their #1 choice but the move collapsed after they failed to agree personal terms with him
The detailed tweet by Ornstein had 4 transfer stories in it. The BBC journalist claims that BVB want Michy Batshuayi to replace Aubamenyang but Chelsea are not willing to let him go without signing a replacement.
Chelsea baulked at Arsenal's asking price at first and turned their attention to Fernando Llorente and considered swapping him and Batshuayi. The move was straightaway rejected by the Belgian striker as he knows he will be a backup to Harry Kane.
Daily Star then added another twist to the story by claiming that Chelsea offered David Luiz to Arsenal in a swap deal for Olivier Giroud. However, Di Marzio's report altogether makes it clear that the merry-go-round of the strikers is set to take place soon.
Rumour probability: 8/10
It's pretty obvious that Arsenal will have to let Giroud join Chelsea if they want to sign Aubameyang. Dortmund won't let him leave without getting Batshuayi and Chelsea won't let the Belgian leave without getting a replacemen.
