After completing the signing of Wayne Rooney this afternoon, Sky Sports reporter Kaveh Solhekol believes that Everton are now turning their attention towards securing Olivier Giroud from Arsenal.

The Toffees added the experienced England international to their squad officially today, and it looks as though Ronald Koeman is keen to keep on building for the upcoming season.
Giroud has been linked with a move to Everton, and also to West Ham and Marseille in recent times, as the exit of Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United continues to loom.
With Arsenal having recently signed Alexandre Lacazette from Lyon for a club-record fee, Giroud’s future at the Emirates has become increasingly uncertain.
This has led to Everton keeping an eye on his situation, with the 30-year-old emerging as a leading target for Koeman.
Giroud is understood to be keen on staying at Arsenal, but also to be playing consistent football – which Arsene Wenger is set to be unable to provide.
