Chamakh helped Bordeaux to this seaosn's Champions
League quarter-finals
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger looks set to
bolster his attacking options after he revealed there is a "good
chance" he will sign Marouane Chamakh this summer.
Bordeaux
striker Chamakh, 26, has been strongly linked with a move to the Gunners
since last summer and is available on a free transfer from June. "He's one of the players who has a good chance to join us," said Wenger, who is reported to have £30m at his disposal.
"We will announce the deals after the league finishes."
Chamakh joined Bordeaux in 2000 and has netted 15 times for the French champions this season, including five goals in their run to the Champions League quarter-finals.

"I've just five weeks left here, it's up to me to have nine great matches to go as far as possible with Bordeaux."
Although Chamakh's strike gave Bordeaux a 1-0 victory over Lyon in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie, it was not enough as Lyon went through 3-2 on aggregate.
The forward has won many admirers this season and in February he revealed that Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham had been in contact, but he denied signing a pre-contract agreement with the Gunners.
Chamakh, who was also heavily linked with West Ham at one stage, has regularly expressed a desire to play in England.
