Marouane Chamakh's Arsenal Transfer Could Happen Quickly – Bordeaux President
http://www.goal.com/en/news/11/t ... n-quickly-bordeaux-
The transfer of the Moroccan to north London could happen straight away, but only if the Gunners stump up the money that the Ligue 1 champions are after...
The remarkable tug-of-war between Arsenal and Girondins de Bordeaux over Moroccan international striker Marouane Chamakh shows few signs of abating, but the whole saga could be wrapped up in double-quick time if the English side meet the Ligue 1 champions’ valuation of the player.
Jean-Louis Triaud, the president of the Aquitaine club, has confessed as such to the AFP news agency. However, he does not seem too hopeful that Gunners boss Arsene Wenger will raise his bid.
“I dare not tell you the number,” Triaud stated, mischievously, when probed about Arsenal’s opening offers, thereby hinting that the English club’s bid was some way off that expected by les Girondins.
Nevertheless, Triaud does seem confident that a conclusion to the impasse can eventually be reached, as Chamakh has repeatedly expressed his desired to play in the Premier League, noting, in the past, that turning out for the Emirates Stadium club would be “a dream”.
“Because it is Arsenal [a fair price] is guaranteed,” the president stated.
“We must believe that Arsene Wenger knows the true value of a player of [Chamakh’s] talent, which, for now, is not the case. If he should make an acceptable offer, it is necessary that [the deal is done] fast.”
Chamakh was one of the key men in Bordeaux’s title-winning campaign last term. He scored 13 goals for the Stade Chaban-Delmas outfit, but his overall contribution, in terms of assists and sheer hard work, was far greater than that figure suggests. |
