Gunners boss rejects Triaud’s Chamakh claims

ARSENAL boss Arsene Wenger has reacted angrily to claims he unsettled Marouane Chamakh and has challenged Bordeaux president Jean-Louis Triaud to a public meeting over his allegations.

Wenger is an admirer of Morocco forward Chamakh but no deal was agreed this summer for the 25-year-old, who has a year left on his contract with his French club.

Triaud has questioned Wenger’s conduct by suggesting he publicly declared an interest in his player before telling Bordeaux – and he is reluctant to do business with Arsenal if they go back for Chamakh when the transfer window reopens in January.
