Arsenal man Marouane Chamakh admits “Fiorentina is a good team,” fuelling reports of a January transfer.

For some weeks now the Italian media have suggested the striker is the number one target to replace Alberto Gilardino, who was sold to Genoa.

"Fiorentina is a good team," he told Sky Sports.

"I want to have a fantastic African Nations Cup - the rest will follow."

Another target is his 28-year-old fellow Moroccan international Mounir El Hamdaoui, who is struggling for playing time at Ajax.
