Marouane Chamakh could soon be leaving Arsenal as Paris Saint Germain are understood to be readying a £10 million transfer bid.
The Moroccan forward, whose promising early performances in an Arsenal shirt have given way to a series of ineffectual bit-part displays, looks set to be offered a chance to restart his career with the ambitious French club.
Gunners captain Robin van Persie has been in devastating form this season, netting 17 goals in all competitions, leaving Chamakh with few opportunities to prove his worth.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger still considers the 27-year-old to be an important part of his plans, but accepts that the player may wish to move on in search of regular games.
‘We have (Marouane) Chamakh and Park Ju-Young, who I think are quality, but at the moment they are not getting the opportunities because Robin is in such fantastic form,’ Wenger said.
‘It will be up to them to show they can take the relay when needed because the season is long and we play in many competitions, hopefully for a long time. Everybody will get a chance.’
Chamakh has started just one game so far this season, and having signed from Bordeaux in the summer of 2010 on a free transfer, £10 million may prove to be good business for a forward who will be 28 in January.
