Marouane Chamakh wants to stay at Arsenal

Marouane Chamakh has suggested that he wants to stay at Arsenal.

The forward, who has played only once this season, has been linked with a move back to former club Bordeaux.

"I haven't played as much, what with [Robin] Van Persie coming back from injury, but for me, it's been a settling-in period," he told the Gunners' official website.

"It's been good to play for a club like Arsenal and getting used to the league, but I'm trying to learn, enjoy it and long may it continue."

Arsenal signed the 27-year-old in May 2010 on a free transfer.
