Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has chosen to play a one-forward system this season.
“It would be better for me if we played with two strikers but that’s the system and the way of playing here,” Chamakh told Arsenal Player. “I respect that and it’s working very well.
“That’s the way it is, that’s football and if the system were to change we would need another striker.
“This would provide a chance for another player but that’s the way it is at the moment.”
Chamakh insists he does not regret leaving Bordeaux for Arsenal in the summer of 2010.
“It’s gone well overall,” he said. “The first year, the first season is about settling in and adapting and there are lots of good strikers around.
“I haven’t played as much, what with Van Persie coming back from injury but for me, it’s been a settling in period.
“It’s been good to play for a club like Arsenal and getting used to the league but I’m trying to learn, enjoy it and long may it continue.”
