The Black Eagles have drawn up a shortlist of potential replacements for Cenk Tosun should the star striker leave this January.

Even if Tosun stays on over the winter transfer window he is likely to leave in the summer with several Premier League sides showing an interest.

Giroud has scored an impressive 105 goals since arriving in North London from Montpellier back in 2012.

The France international has another one-and-a-half seasons remaining on his current contract.
