Bordeaux are believed to be eyeing up giant Valencia striker Nikola Zigic as a replacement for Marouane Chamakh, should the Moroccan finally seal his dream move to Arsenal.

The Gunners have, so far, refused to match les Girondins' valuation of the front-man, after seeing an initial bid of €7 million snubbed by the Ligue 1 champions.

However, the forward's repeated pleas to be allowed to leave France this summer are expected to eventually result in a deal to allow the striker to leave the Stade Chaban Delmas for England.
