Giroud "flattered" by Bayern Munich

Montpellier HSC hitman Olivier Giroud has admitted that he is flattered by the interest shown in him by Bayern Munich.

The 25-year-old has found the net 16 times for La Pallaide this season, helping to fire them into top spot in Ligue 1.

Montpellier have slapped a £14m price tag on the France international, who has attracted the attention of scouts across Europe.

"I know that Bayern are scouting me and I am very flattered," said Giroud.

"For strikers, the German league is very attractive, and it seems that all centre forwards have a lot of fun playing in the Bundesliga.

Montpellier president Laurent Nicollin has already stated that he expect Giroud to leave this summer.
