After much speculation, Marouane Chamakh’s departure from Arsenal has been confirmed. The Moroccan international is making a move to Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace, now in the Premier League, successfully secured the services of the Atlas Lions striker, as reported by L’Equipe. The signing took place on Saturday, and Chamakh is committed to a season with the Eagles.
Chamakh, formerly with Bordeaux, is leaving Arsenal after three years that did not meet expectations. He arrived at Arsenal in 2010, having joined as a free agent from Girondins de Bordeaux. Last season, he was loaned to West Ham. Throughout his time with the Gunners, the Atlas Lion scored only 14 goals in 67 matches. The move to Crystal Palace provides Chamakh with a new opportunity in his football career.
