Arsenal striker Marouane Chamakh must impress against Manchester City tonight to stand any chance of a long-term future at Emirates stadium.

The Daily Star says the Morocco striker has just two goals in 33 appearances over the last year, having made a decent start with the club with 10 in his first 23 games.

But he will join Park Chu-Young, 26, in leading the line against Manchester City tonight.

Time is running out for ­Chamakh, 27, to show he can command a place in the Gunners side, with Paris St Germain reportedly ready to bid for the ex-Bordeaux star in January.
