Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is undergoing a medical at Arsenal ahead of his £60m move to the Emirates.
The Gabon striker was at Arsenal's training ground on Tuesday to thrash out terms on a £180,000-a-week deal ahead of his move from Borussia Dortmund.
He was having his medical at London Colney on Wednesday morning but Dortmund will only let the deal go through once they have brought in a replacement.
That man is likely to be Michy Batshuayi, which will see Arsenal striker Giroud take the Belgian's place at Chelsea.
Arsenal seemingly confirmed the deal was done after the defeat to Swansea.

The post-match clip has since been deleted but footage has emerged on social media from the apparent interview with the club's official website.
The reporter asks: "Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is an Arsenal player, you must be delighted to get the deal done?"
Wenger replies: "Yes, it is good news. We need people who can give us more offensive power.
"He has a big challenge in front of him. He wants to do well in the Premier League.
"It is absolutely good news for us."
Reports in Germany suggest Aubameyang's arrival will see Mesut Ozil sign a new deal at the Emirates.
