Arsenal to offload Gervinho and Marouane Chamakh
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed the club are set to offload striking duo Gervinho and Marouane Chamakh.
Gervinho arrived in Italy earlier today for a medical ahead of his permanent move to Serie A side Roma, believed to be worth £6.9million, while Chamakh looks to be closing in on a switch to Premier League newboys Crystal Palace.
Speaking after Arsenals 2-1 defeat to Galatasaray in the Emirates Cup today, Wenger said: Gervinho is on a good way to Roma, and Chamakh on a good way to Crystal Palace.
Gervinho told La Gazzetta dello Sport when he arrived in Rome: Im happy to be here, it was my dream.
The Ivory Coast forward, signed for £11m in 2011, only played 18 times last season for the Gunners as the 26-year-old struggled for form and fitness.
Chamakh has failed to live up to expectations since signing on a free transfer from Bordeaux in 2010, only scoring 14 goals and spent a loan spell at West Ham last season.
Out of favour striker Nicklas Bendtner has also been made available as Wenger looks to clear the decks ahead of the possible signing of Liverpools Luis Suarez.
Bendtner we are nowhere. At the moment he is completely here, Wenger said after Saturdays 2-2 Emirates Cup draw with Napoli
