Arsenal is widely expected to change direction at striker, leading to rumors that Olivier Giroud could be on the move to Juventus, Roma, Borussia Dortmund or elsewhere.

Giroud went from Montpellier to north London in 2012 on a £12 million deal.

"The rumors about Olivier are not surprising given that he is having a great season," said his agent Michael Manuello.

Giroud has 21 goals and eight assists in 43 starts.

"I read about Juventus and Roma, but the truth is that there has been no contact with these clubs or with other ones.

"Juve were interested, it is true, but that was before he moved to Arsenal.

"He's very settled in London and the club is happy with him. I think there is no possibility he might change club.

"At the end of the season we will meet with the Gunners to discuss a contract extension."
