Chamakh eyes Arsenal move

Marouane Chamakh is hoping to make a move to Arsenal or Tottenham this summer, after it emerged that the Bordeaux man had a few potential suitors in the Premiership.

"I will reach the end of my contract in 2010. I haven't met any officials yet. I am open to Bordeaux or anything else,'' he told L'Equipe. "In principle, I will not leave for another French club. My objective if I have to leave Les Girondins is to go abroad, preferably to England.

"Let's wait for the end of the current season to see if we will play in the Champions League and if the coach (Laurent Blanc) will stay.

"A London club is always exciting. I really like Arsenal, but a club like Tottenham would be magnificent for me too. It all depends on the circumstances.''
