Marouane Chamakh to have Crystal Palace medical today?

Arsenal striker Marouane Chamakh is reportedly edging closer to a move to Crystal Palace.

The newly-promoted Premier League outfit admitted that they are tracking the Moroccan, who has fallen out of favour at the Emirates.

It is understood that the 29-year-old is booked in for a medical with the Eagles ahead of a permanent move to Selhurst Park, according to the Croydon Guardian.

Previous reports had suggested that the original transfer was on a loan basis, but it has been claimed that Palace will take the striker permanently.
