Olivier Giroud focusing on Montpellier

Giroud focusing on Montpellier

Olivier Giroud has insisted that he is only focusing on current club Montpellier, despite reported interest from Arsenal.

The Gunners have repeatedly been linked with a summer move for the 25-year-old, while Liverpool and Aston Villa have also been mooted as possible destinations.

However, Giroud claims that he wants to help Ligue 1 leaders Montpellier qualify for next season's Champions League.

"I can't let it [transfer talk] trouble me," he told Ligue1.com.

"I want to carry on being good with Montpellier and keep producing what I've done since the start of the season and take the club where it should be, into the Champions League or even higher."

Giroud joined Montpellier from Tours in 2010.
