Arsenal target Marouane Chamakh attacks Bordeaux for blocking 'dream move'
Chamakh missed Sunday's friendly against Valencia and launched an outspoken attack on his club after they said they had rejected a bid of around £6 million.
'I am angry. I am even disgusted. I don't understand why people are doing this. Ever since I've played football, I've given my all for this club and for the fans. I believe I deserve more consideration,' Chamakh said.
‘To go to Arsenal, it's my dream. I am a year from the end of my contract and the club [Bordeaux] wants to make it all about money. What the club is asking for isn't fair.'
Bordeaux president Jean-Louis Triaud said that he had not heard back from Arsenal since the initial offer for a player who is an established international with Morocco and one of the most sought after forwards in the French league.
'We said we would facilitate his transfer to a big club,' Triaud said.
'But if Bafetimbi Gomis is worth €15 million [£12.7 million], Marouane is worth at least as much.
'Arsenal made an offer of €7 million on Monday [last week]. Since then I have not had any contact with them. It is up to them.'
Chamakh scored 13 goals in 34 Ligue 1 games last season and has scored 15 times in 50 games for Morocco.
