Firepower: Marouane Chamakh of Bordeaux in action
against Lyon in the Champion's League quarter-final
Arsene Wenger has secured his first signing of the summer with
Marouane Chamakh’s move from Bordeaux now confirmed.
But it will come as no surprise to Arsenal fans, many of whom
are desperate for Wenger to dip into his £45million of reserves,
that he is arriving on a free transfer.
Nevertheless, Chamakh’s arrival on a £12m four-year deal should
add significant firepower to an Arsenal side who have struggled
with the amount of injuries they have had to contend with this
term.
Chamakh, who scored a typical headed goal in Bordeaux’s
Champions League quarter-final against Lyon, could theoretically
face Arsenal in the final.
