Turkish giants admit there is a high possibility they will sign Arsenal ace

Marouane Chamakh could be on his way out of Arsenal for this season as Malaga and Besiktas have made loan offers for the struggling striker.

The 28-year-old when signed for free from Bordeaux in 2010 was considered as a master stroke from Arsene Wenger. He started the season brightly, scoring 11 goals and providing eight assists for the Gunners.
However, last season was utterly frustrating for him as he spent most of the time serving as deputy of ex-skipper Robin van Persie, scoring only one goal in 14 league appearances.

Despite the departure of the Dutchman to Manchester United, his position at the club hasn’t improved as Arsenal recruited Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud to bolster their attacking options.

Bereft of confidence, he is now looking to get some play time elsewhere; with Spanish outfit Malaga and Turkish club Besiktas have made loan offers while Everton, Fiorentina and his former club Bordeaux have also registered interest in signing him.

Besiktas are willing to offer a loan fee to Arsenal and are ready to cover all of the player’s £60,000-a-week wages for the season.

Speaking to Turkish newspaper Milliyet Besiktas manager Samet Aybaba said “We have decided to push forwards in our attempts to sign a striker, there is a high possibility we sign Chamakh.”

However, Wenger might not sanction his move as the manager is left short of covering options with Nicklas Bendtner and Park Chu-Young also currently discussing transfers with other clubs.

Full-back's departure was a blow but the Newcastle star's experience, defensive qualities, aerial ability and winning mentality mark him out as a worthy successor ANALYSIS By Liam Twomey In previous years, the departure of a club stalwart might have sparked talk of crisis at Arsenal . But Arsene Wenger has acted quickly in the wake of Bacary Sagna 's defection to Manchester City , with Newcastle right-back Mathieu Debuchy set to be unveiled as a Gunner before the end of the week in a deal worth an initial £8 million . Setback though it was, the protracted nature of Sagna's departure from the Emirates Stadium afforded Wenger ample time to plan for a future without him. Sebastian Jung of Eintracht Frankfurt became a target as far back as January , while talks with Toulouse over Serge Aurier reached a very advanced stage . But as Debuchy makes his final preparations for life in north London, Wenger can be confident that he has secured a very profic
