Ligue 1 defending champions Bordeaux have denied that they have received any improved bid from English giants Arsenal FC for their striker Marouane Chamakh.

Bordeaux chairman Jean-Louis Triaud dismissed speculation that the Londoners have made an increased bid for Chamakh, who played and scored for Bordeaux’s 4-1 thumping of RC Lens.

The two clubs have so far failed to agree on a price for the Morocco international, who has made no secret of his desire to leave.

And Arsenal are unwilling to match Bordeaux’s current asking price of around £10.2million with Chamakh in the final year of his current contract.

But despite rumours of a renewed bid of around £7.7 million by Arsenal, Triaud claims he has not spoken with the English club for some time.

“I have not had any sign of life from Arsenal. I am waiting,” he told L’Equipe.

“If Arsene Wenger really wants Marouane, I suppose he will finally get in touch.

“Contrary to what has been said, I am not aware of a €9m offer.”

“Will Chamakh stay one more season? I don’t know. In front of me I have a player that wants to leave.”
