Bordeaux striker Marouane Chamakh has revealed that he is growing increasingly restless as his move to Arsenal seems less likely.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has publicly stated that the club have been watching Chamakh, but reports claim Arsenal's bid was rejected, and Wenger then claimed Bordeaux's valuation of the player was too high.

Despite Bordeaux's seeming unwillingness, Chamakh has said he is eager for a move, telling Canal Plus, "My priority is Arsenal, but there are other clubs. If it's Arsenal, so much the better. I am not sleeping as well as I normally do.

"I made my wish known to the directors at the end of last season. I expressed a wish to join another league."

"I hope things will be sorted out, and that they will be sorted out very quickly. As much for Bordeaux's sake as for mine, my situation has to be clarified."

"I thought they (Bordeaux) would have made things easier for me, but we will see. As for now I will continue to give my best for Bordeaux." he concluded.

Chamakh is believed to carry a price tag of €15 million, a fee that Wenger believes is too high, especially considering that the 25-year-old is in the last year of his contract and could arrive next summer on a potential free transfer.
