Arsenal have confirmed the signing of Morocco and Bordeaux striker Marouane Chamakh on an unspecified long-term deal. The twenty-six year old, who had been linked with Arsenal since last summer, is to join on a free transfer when his contract with Bordeaux expires.
In February he revealed Liverpool, Tottenham and Arsenal had all been in touch with him about possible moves. "Without any hesitation, Arsenal was my preferred club," said Chamakh, who has scored seventy-nine goals in eight years at Bordeaux. No doubt, he won't score for another eight years.
