Chamakh Deal Complete

In completely and utterly shocking news, Arsenal today have confirmed their signing of Bordeaux striker Marouane Chamakh. The 26-year-old Moroccan international has signed a long-term contract with the club.

In eight seasons with Bordeaux, Chamakh scored 79 goals in 293 appearances with the club, which advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League last season, before being bounced out by Lyon. Chamakh scored both Bordeaux goals in the tie.

Chamakh was born and raised in France, but by lineage plays internationally for Morocco, for whom he has scored 27 goals in his 53 caps. The side's most famous moment was advancing to the Final of the 2004 Africa Cup of Nations.

And for your information, in terms of blog posts, I've been holding off on speculative news until the damned Cesc Fabregas soap opera comes to an end.
