Arsenal have been informed that they will have to increase their offer for Marouane Chamakh if they are to land the Morocco international from Bordeaux.
Arsene Wenger is believed to be a keen admirer of the striker's talents and the north London club have been linked with a move for the Bordeaux star throughout the summer.
With the sale of Emmanuel Adebayor to Manchester City, the Gunners are undoubtedly interested in bolstering their attacking options before the start of the Premier League season and Chamakh may just fit the bill.
It is believed that Arsenal had an initial bid in the region of €7 million rejected by Bordeaux and the French club's president, Jean-Louis Triaud, is refusing to budge on his Valuation of the 25-year-old.
"We said we would facilitate his transfer to a big club," Triaud told French radio station RMC.
"But if [Lyon's Bafetimbi] Gomis is worth €15million, Marouane is worth at least as much.
"Arsenal made an offer of €7 million on Monday. Since then I have not had any contact with them. It is up to them to decide."
