There could be more bad news for Arsenal fans after big-spending French club Paris Saint-Germain were linked with striker Marouane Chamakh.
The Parisian outfit is backed by a Qatari investor and has already proved their spending power by luring Argentina international Javier Pastore to the club in the summer.
Now, according to reports in France, manager Antoine Kombouare is keen to bring Chamakh back to Ligue 1 where the striker first made his name at Bordeaux.
The 27-year-old was signed by Arsenal after an impressive goal scoring season at Bordeaux, but has since struggled to hold down a place in the Gunners first team.
Chamakh has scored just eight league goals in his time with the club but that has not put off PSG who still believe he has the ability to score plenty of goals in Ligue 1.
Reports in France suggest that sporting director Leonardo has been tracking the striker and believes that because of his lack of first team appearances for Arsenal this season would be willing to move across the channel.
Arsenal is lacking options in attack after Nicklas Bendtner made the move to Sunderland, with Robin van Persie the only other recognized forward in the senior squad.
The Gunners do have Gervinho and Theo Walcott, who both have the ability to play in a front three, but Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger would certainly not want to lose Chamakh in January with the club already struggling.
