Marouane Chamakh (Arabic: مروان الشماخ, born on 10 January 1984) is a Moroccan footballer who plays for Arsenal as a striker. Although born and raised in France, he chose to play international football for Morocco due to his Moroccan parentage
In 2000, at the age of 16, Chamakh accepted an offer to join the Bordeaux training academy while continuing to pursue his studies. He played 17 games and scored six goals for the club's reserve side in Championnat de France amateur 2 before making his debut for the first team against Metz in a Coupe de la Ligue tie on 19 January 2003. His Ligue 1 debut came less than a month later, on 8 February 2003, against SC Bastia.
Despite having represented France at youth level, Chamakh made his debut for Morocco on 8 June 2003 in an African Cup of Nations qualifier against Sierra Leone.
His 13 Ligue 1 goals in 2008-09 helped Bordeaux to win the title, ending Lyon's seven year domination. He scored five goals in nine appearance in the Champions League, netting against Juventus and Bayern Munich as Bordeaux caused an upset by finishing top of their group. He also scored against Olympiacos in the round of 16 to set up a quarter-final tie with Lyon. Chamakh scored in both legs of the tie, however it was not enough to prevent Bordeaux from being eliminated 3-2 on aggregate.
During his time at Bordeaux, Chamakh was linked with several other clubs. Lyon had a bid rejected in June 2007 and were criticised by Jean-Louis Triaud for their pursuit of the striker. His current contract expired in June 2010, meaning he was able to move under the Bosman ruling.
Chamakh made a total of 293 appearances, scoring 79 goals during his eight years with Les Girondins.
Arsenal
On May 21, 2010, Chamakh completed his move to Arsenal, on a free transfer, which took effect on July 1, 2010. He made his debut in a pre-season friendly against Barnet FC on 17th July 2010, coming on as a substitute.
