While the former Bordeaux striker arrived at Arsenal on a free transfer, Wenger is reportedly looking to rid himself of the Moroccans £60k a week salary. Similarly to Park Chu-Young, Chamakh finds himself slipping further and further down Gunners pecking order in the light of new signings and with a pitiful 1 goal to his name in 18 months of play, hes been made available for purchase and Wenger apparently hopes hell go during todays transfer window deadline. However, so far no solid offers have been made for the Moroccan striker, but speculation seems to indicate that a number of Ligue 1 clubs are eyeing up a potential deal here. Reportedly, Arsene Wenger is willing to hear out offers in the ballpark of £6m for the 28-year-old this summer, which of course represents a healthy profit (considering he was free). However, according to the Metro Besiktas are apparently seeking an initial loan deal, which could well develop into a permanent switch to the Turkish squad, meaning that he may or may not go during the transfer window deadline today. That said, his imminent departure is looking extremely likely.
