Chamakh still on Wenger's radar

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger admits he may "reconsider" a move for Bordeaux striker Marouane Chamakh when the transfer window re-opens in January.

The Gunners were strongly linked with a £10million swoop for the Morocco international before the September 1 deadline. Chamakh's agent claims Wenger sees the 25-year-old as a potential replacement for Emmanuel Adebayor, who was sold to Manchester City during the summer.

The Arsenal manager said: "He is a player we were close to signing, but at the moment we have lost a little bit of touch with him because there is no transfer period now. We might reconsider the position if it is needed in January."
