25-year-old Chamak is a free agent to the summer
Bordeaux striker Marouane Chamakh has admitted he would prefer to join Arsenal rather than Liverpool this summer.
Chamakh, 25, will be a free agent when his deal expires at the end of June and both Premier League giants have made him offers to him to sign a pre-contract.
Liverpool are hoping to tempt him with £50,000-a-week plus a huge signing-on fee, but Arsenal have always remained confident of getting him.
Arsene Wenger went back for Chamakh in January, but Bordeaux did not want to sell, and the Gunners have also made him a lucrative offer for next season.
Chamakh said: “My future? Well, I hold all the cards, I have no reason to be under pressure but every day passing by, I am a little less a Bordeaux player.
“My choice is to join a Premier League club and, if I could choose, I will go to Arsenal.
“Bordeaux has brought me so much. I will soon clearly state things so the club can prepare to find my replacement peacefully.’

He’ll probably be suited more to Arsenal’s style of play than Liverpool’s.
Add to that the fact that Arsenal are more likely to qualify for the Champions League than Liverpool this season.

I think you’ve a good point there. Champions League play is probably something that he’s after as well.
