Morocco international and Arsenal’s kingpin Marouane Chamakh has been named Bordeaux’s player of the year 2010 by fans of the French Ligue 1 club, according to a statement published on the club’s website Thursday.
Six months after his departure from Les Girondins, supporters are yet to forget the 26-year-old’s legacy built across seven seasons, scoring 56 goals in 230 appearances. They voted massively to hand him the honorific title, brushing aside goalkeeper Cédric Carrasso (2^nd) and Yoann Gourcuff (3^rd), who now plays for Olympique Lyonnais.
Chamakh joined the Gunners last July on a free transfer. He has received call ups from Morocco since 2003, appearing in 52 games and scoring 15 goals.
