FLIRTATIOUS French frontman Olivier Giroud is "set to be axed" by Arsenal this summer, says The Sun.

According to the newspaper the 27-year-old striker, who scored one of the Gunners' penalties in their FA Cup semi-final shootout with Wigan on Saturday, will be ditched by Arsene Wenger at the end of the season. Though Giroud has scored goals regularly throughout the season (he is the club's top scorer with 19), the Sun says Wenger remains "furious" with his compatriot for his amorous antics earlier in the season.
