The Gunners boss has long been an admirer of the 25-year-old, who could be available for around £12million, and last month admitted he would be keen to push through a deal should Emmanuel Adebayor leave.

Bordeaux president Jean-Louis Triaud said in Friday's L'Equipe: "Wenger actually phoned me. He said to me that he had a list of strikers and that Marouane was on it."

With Adebayor and defender Kolo Toure having joined Manchester City's bid to usurp Arsenal in the top four, Wenger will be keen to bolster his own options.

The Frenchman, however, maintains despite the club being some £30million up on their summer transfer dealings, having so far bought only defender Thomas Vermaelen, his squad already "are strong enough" to challenge next season.

Wenger, though, admits he could yet make more moves before the transfer window closes.

Former skipper Patrick Vieira, 33, has been linked with a return to the club he left in 2005 on a pay-as-you-play basis, while Gunners utility man Emmanuel Eboue continues to interest Fiorentina.

Arsenal continue their pre-season preparations this weekend at the Emirates Cup, which will include a game against Scottish champions Rangers.
