PREMIER LEAGUE!! Former Arsenal Star Striker Chamakh Retires (PHOTO)
Former Morocco international Marouane Chamakh has confirmed his retirement from football at the age of 35 after not playing for almost two-and-a-half years.
The former Arsenal, West Ham, Crystal Palace, Cardiff City and Bordeaux striker had been without a club since he left Cardiff in 2016.
His last league match was against Brighton in a goalless draw in the English Championship on 3 December that same year.
“Today I can say that I really retired from football,” Chamakh told beIN Sports.
Born in France, Chamakh spent eight years with Bordeaux scoring 56 goals in 230 league appearances, and won one Ligue 1 title and two French League Cups.
He moved to Arsenal in 2010 and went on to make 40 Premier League appearances in three seasons, netting eight goals.
