Chelsea signs Arsenal striker Oliver Giroud

Chelsea have signed Arsenal striker Oliver Giroud for a fee of £18m
The 31 year old has signed an 18 months contract at Stamford Bridge.

He leaves the Emirates after five and half years at the club, scoring
105 goals from 253 appearances, having initially arrived from then
Ligue 1 Champions Montpellier for a fee of £12m.

During his time at the Emirates, Oliver Giroud won three FA Cups and
three Community Shields duing his five and half years at the club.

Chelsea's Michy Batshuayi to join Dortmund on loan

Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi is to join Borussia Dortmund on loan
for the rest of the season.

The 23 year old move to the Bundesliga is part of a transfer merry go
round that includes Aubameyang's record move to Arsenal. The Belgian
striker would serve as a replacement for the former.

Oliver Giroud is expected to join Chelsea from Arsenal as Michy
Batshuayi's replacement.

Michy Batshuayi joined Chelsea in July, 2016 for a fee of over £30m.
He has largely been a bit part player under Antonio Conte, but he got
the goal that sealed the Premier League title for Chelsea last season.

In total, he made 32 league appearances for Chelsea with seven goals

Mesut Ozil signs new Arsenal contract

Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil has signed a new contract that ties him
to the club until 2021.

The German international's new deal is a three and half year contract
worth a reported £350,000 a week before tax.

The 29 year old was the club's record signing when he arrived from
Real Madrid on September 1, 2013 for a fee of £42m.

His time at the club has fetched three FA cups, the last of which was
last season's triumph over Chelsea at Wembley.

Ozil has made 21 appearances this season with four goals and six assists.

The new contract makes him Arsenal's highest earner. And it comes at
time that Arsene Wenger's side could do with a boost after the
departure of Alexis Sanchez, who was in the same contract situation
with the German international, as they had just under six months left
on their contract.

With the German's future now settled, the club would be looking to
sort out the contract situation of Jack Wilshere, who has been
impactful since he regained his place in Arsenal's league campaign.
