Italian champions Juventus reportedly eye a summer move for Arsenal frontman Olivier Giroud should they fail to land Edinson Cavani from Paris Saint-Germain.

Juventus have reportedly identified Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud as a possible transfer target this summer should they fail to sign Edinson Cavani from Paris Saint-Germain.

According to Italian publication Tuttosport, Chelsea's interest in Cavani could cause Juve to move for Giroud.

The French international has scored 20 goals in all competitions for Arsenal this season but just two since January 13, and has recently found himself on the bench.

If Juve do sign the 29-year-old it could open the door for Arsene Wenger to spend big on a new marquee striker this summer.
