Arsenal striker Marouane Chamakh has no intention of quitting the Emirates Stadium this summer, despite talk of a move away this month. The Moroccan forward has endured a difficult season so far in 2011/2012, and wants to move elsewhere.
German side Wolfsburg and Italian team Fiorentina have been linked with a move for the underperforming striker, valued at around 5 million GBP.
"I am relaxed about my future. I've spoken with the coach and I'm staying with Arsenal after the African Cup of Nations," Chamakh told the Daily Mirror. "I think Wenger has confidence in me. It was that reason that I left Bordeaux to join Arsenal.
"I had some good performances in my first season and it's possible that I can repeat those. My agents have had calls from other clubs, but I want to show what I can do in the next few months.
"I'm tired of the rumours, because I only want to be focused on my work for Morocco. Personally, I have a lot more in my game and I want to demonstrate my level.
"Of course I want to play more, but it's very difficult for a forward at Arsenal. The level is very high, but that's the challenge that I was looking for."
