Arsenal to sign Bordeaux striker

Arsenal are set to sign striker Marouane Chamakh from French side Bordeaux, according to the Sunday Mail.

Chamakh, who is out of contract this summer, is close to agreeing a four-year deal with the Gunners.

Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis is holding talks with the Moroccan over a move, but the club are not expected to announce the move until the end of the season.

“I’ve dreamed of the Premier League since I was a little boy. I am ready to discover the experience for myself,” Chamakh said last week.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is expected to sign at least one centre-half in the summer as well.
