According to British press, LOSC Lille are keen on signing a new striker by the end of the winter transfer window. Reports suggest that Rudi Garcia has identified Arsenal FC striker Marouane Chamakh as the striker he wants
“The priority is to recruit a new striker,” were the words of Lille coach Rudi Garcia at a press conference on Friday. Despite the defensive problems encountered due to the absence of Marko Basa due to injury, Lille are keen on signing a new striker in the
wake of rumours surrounding the future of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Moussa-Sow-c26939.
The 25-year-old striker has already left the club in order to represent Senegal in the African Cup of Nations. Furthermore, Sow has been linked with a move away from the Stade Metropole by the end of January. It has been reported that Turkish giants Fenerbahce
are desperate to sign the former Rennais striker and are willing to offer him a lucrative deal which could make him one of the highest-paid players in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Turkey-c3026.
Currently, Les Dogues have http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ireneusz-Jelen-c17008 as the only out and out striker. Furthermore, the Pole has been far from prolific in his first season with the Northerners and Garcia is keen on bringing a new striker.
Reports now claim that Garcia might be tempted into buying http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 where he has been confined to a mere peripheral role due to the superb form of Dutch striker
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380.
Furthermore, the Gunners have signed former striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thierry-Henry-c34918 on a two-month deal which means that the Moroccan international would still find it hard to break into the first-team.
Currently, Chamakh is away on international duty where he is representing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Morocco-c2961 in the African Cup of Nations.
Though Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has time and time again expressed his desire to keep hold of the Moroccan, Chamakh might reconsider his situation at the club as he will certainly be looking to play more regularly.
The former Bordeaux man was linked with a return to the Aquitaine club but a move never materialised. However, Lille’s interest could force him to at least consider a move to the North of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899.
