Bordeaux forward Marouane Chamakh says he no longer wishes to leave following the club's Ligue 1 title success at the weekend.

The 25-year-old, who has earned 50 caps for Morocco scoring 15 goals, netted 13 times in Ligue 1 to help secure a first league crown in 10 years for les Girondins.

Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Sunderland were all believed to be chasing the highly-rated forward, with Chamakh himself recently admitting he would be leaving Bordeaux at the end of the season, with the Emirates Stadium a possible destination.
