Arsenal see off Liverpool with deal close for Chamakh
Arsenal are close to securing Bordeaux striker Marouane Chamakh to a pre-contract agreement.
The Times says Arsenal were closing in on the signature of Chamakh last night after the Bordeaux striker’s proposed move to Liverpool collapsed amid some acrimony.
Liverpool believed they had moved ahead of their rivals, who also include Inter Milan and West Ham United, in the race for Chamakh by offering the Morocco player a lucrative pre-contract agreement during intensive talks with his advisers early last month.
Sources close to the deal indicated last night that Chamakh has rejected Liverpool’s approach, paving the way for him to sign for Arsenal. The North London club would have no problem matching the £60,000-a-week wages on offer at Anfield and are in the process of finalising a five-year contract.

@arsenal lover... get a grip this is life! not a game of football manager where you can throw all the money around and dont have to account for it.. we DONT need foreign owners to hold us up for a while and strip and rape us down the track (look at liverpool for example) all fans are not happy with recent results but calls to sack wenger are rubbish as it will not happen for a start and supporters of the club (not fans only for trophies) want the club to stay they way it's going with a few adjustments for success..
