Arsenal have completed the signing of long-term target Marouane Chamakh as Arsene Wenger began what could be a busy summer of transfer activity for the club.
Chamakh played a key role in Bordeaux winning the French league title in 2009 and leaves the club after 293 appearances, during which he has scored 79 times. He first appeared for Bordeaux as a teenager and has gradually built a reputation as one of the finest strikers in Ligue 1, helping his club reach this season's Champions League quarter-finals where they lost to French rivals Lyon.
Chamakh has scored 27 goals in 53 appearances for Morocco and now believes he can be a hit in the Premier League.
The Moroccan, who will wear the number 29 shirt for Arsenal, will join up with his new team-mates for pre-season training in July.
