Arsenal’s out of form striker Marouane Chamakh is the subject of a £9 million bid from Italian side Lazio. The Moroccan international who got of to a bright start at Arsenal this season has faded since November, in part due to the excellent form of Robin van Persie, which has meant he has had to make do with appearances as a substitute.
According to the Metro, Lazio are keeping track of the striker who may be unsettled since he has not scored for the Gunners in 19 matches. Wenger may decide to cash in on a player that came to Arsenal on a free transfer. With Nicklas Bendtner and Carlos Vela still on the books he may decide that Chamakh is surplus to requirements.
Meanwhile French side Marseille and an unnamed Premiership club are also rumoured to be interested in the 27-year-old who became the first player in Champions League history to score in six consecutive matches.
Wenger will be looking to bring in some new players this summer and would welcome making a healthy profit on the striker in order to have cash to invest back into the squad. It is thought that the manager will try to bring in at least a new defender in order to strengthen the back four.
Who thinks Wenger should let Bendtner AND Chamakh leave this summer?
