Arsenal and Liverpool target hails Bordeaux boss Blanc

Chamakh is out-of-contract at Bordeaux in the summer and could leave the club.

Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, Chelsea, Everton, Sunderland, Inter Milan, Juventus and Sevilla have all been linked with the 26-year-old

“Laurent Blanc has brought us a winning state of mind, he has taught us how to hate defeat,” he told L’Equipe.

“Both on mental and physical levels, I am at my best. Three years ago, I was still a little crazy. Now I can manage my efforts, which allows me to be more clear-sighted at the end of the match.

“I have improved, but I can still improve. I am not only happy to play anymore. I have become someone who wants to win. I am more a scorer, but not enough yet. There are too many situations where I still do a pass for a player in a better position.”
