Olivier Giroud Reportedly Everton's No. 1 Transfer Target Amid Wayne Rooney Talk

Everton have reportedly made Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud their "No. 1 transfer target" this summer ahead of a potential £20 million move.

According to MailOnline's Joe Strange, the Toffees are hoping to add more reinforcements to their squad next summer, and Giroud could be available after Alexandre Lacazette's impending arrival from Lyon.

The club are hopeful that more first-team football will entice the Frenchman, and they have also been linked with a return for Wayne Rooney, per ITV Sport's Sam Matterface and The Sun's Neil Custis:

Rooney meeting Koeman soon, if that goes well should be rubber stamped by the end of the week.
