Wenger happy with striker's contribution

Manager Arsène Wenger is more than happy with striker Marouane Chamakh's contribution so far this season.

The Moroccan international, signed in the summer on a free, has taken his total tally for the season to 11 goals, scoring 9 in the league and 2 in the Champions League.

Wenger said: "He is a guy who gets others involved, creates chances and who is collective in the final third.

"Even if he doesn't get 20 goals I'm sure the players around him will score because of him.

"I am pleased because I expected a team player, someone who fights for the team, and I have not been disappointed by his commitment and contribution.

"If you look at the number of times he was decisive then if you are not happy you must be very difficult to please. I'm extremely satisfied with the fact I signed him.

"Chamakh has never been a great goalscorer but, the way we play, all the strikers score here.

"We always go forward and you will be in the box at some stage so you will get chances."
