Chamakh has hinted he could return to French side Bordeaux on loan.
He said: “I am 27 and I need to play. I cannot stay like this forever. I won’t leave in January but I will take an important decision in June.
“I was surprised by the offers I got last summer but my priority was to stay at Arsenal. A return to France? If so, it will be to Bordeaux.”
Chamakh joined Arsenal from Bordeaux in 2010.
