Marouane Chamakh, despite having a productive season with Crystal Palace, might not remain at the club for the next season. While his contract extension has been announced, there are reports suggesting that he could be targeted by Aston Villa. The Sun has indicated that the Moroccan striker is being considered by Aston Villa to bolster their attacking options.
Aston Villa, struggling in the league and in need of attacking reinforcements to support Christian Benteke, are reportedly interested in signing the 30-year-old forward. With the club hovering dangerously close to the relegation zone, they see Chamakh as a potential solution to their scoring woes.
Currently leading the goal-scoring charts for Crystal Palace with 5 goals, Chamakh’s performances have not gone unnoticed, especially by Aston Villa’s president, Paul Lambert. It is speculated that an offer could be made for Chamakh in the near future, as Villa look to strengthen their squad.
If the move materializes, Chamakh would join Aston Villa as his fourth English club, following stints at Arsenal, West Ham, and Crystal Palace.
