West Ham on the brink of landing Arsenal and Sunderland target
Posted by Cathal Breathnach on August 24, 2009 | 10 Comments
West Ham are today close to completing the signing of Bordeaux striker Marouane Chamakh after weeks of speculation regarding his future.
Chamakh, 25, has been strongly linked with a move to the Premier League ever since the transfer window opened on July 1st, with Arsenal and Sundelrand also understood to be interested, however it looks as though Gianfranco Zola has today won the race.
The Moroccon international has never hidden his desire to move to England, however once a move to Arsenal was ruled out, talk of a move to these shores cooled. It is thought that Chamakh will complete his move to Upton Park some time this week, with £7 million likely to be the transfer fee.
I must admit, I have only seen Chamakh on a number of occassions at Bordeaux but whenever I have seen him play, I have been impressed. He has got bags of pace and he certainly knows where the goal is, scoring 56 goals in just over 200 appearances. I personally think he will be a huge hit at West Ham and I look forward to seeing him banging in the goals in England.
What do you think? Comments below please.

Just because you publish “news” in your paper does not make it true. Just because you hear it from the BBC, does not make it true.
Didn’t they teach you anything about primary & secondary sources on your journalism course?
If you hear it from the player and check it with his club, it’s news. Otherwise it’s worthless hearsay.

Dear Mr Breakneck, Re-read your predictions for the season, then your retractions and pray tell us why we should believe a word of anything you write.

The transfer window is coming to an end, I suppose that they’ve got to find something to write about, even if it is completely untrue.

Yep – I would agree with that.. Thanks for the line.

The transfer window has now closed and I seem to have missed the transfer of Chamakh to West Ham. Remind me, when did this happen?
