According to Mountakhab.net, Girondins de Bordeaux striker Marouande Chamakh is not overly concerned that his transfer situation is still up in the air at this point and does not want to rush his decision.

The player made it clear that the reason that his transfer is still in the works is not due to a lack of offers but merely to his own vigilance in terms of picking his destination.

“I want to make the right choice, I don’t want to leave just to leave. That’s why I’m taking my time. I’m not worried. I have concrete offers and its up to me to make the right choice. It shouldn’t take too long because the club will have to replace me if I leave,” he explained.

Chamakh also responded to Jean-Louis Triaud’s assertion that his star forward deserved a much more high-profile side than Sunderland.

“I understand the president but it’s not up to him to tell me where I should go. But it’s nice of him to say I deserve a better club. Now I have my own desires. I always said that I wanted to discover the Premier League. I’m not spitting on Sunderland. That track is not at all discarded,” he continued.
