Arsenal's new signing Marouane Chamakh isn't fazed by comparisons with Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor and is convinced he can prove to be a success in north London.
Chamakh, 26, arrived at the club on a free transfer this summer after snatching 79 goals in 293 appearances for Bordeaux. The Morocco international has enjoyed a fine start to life at the Emirates and was on the score sheet in the 1-1 draw with Milan at the weekend.
Speaking to the Official Arsenal Magazine, Chamakh is hoping to use his six feet two inch frame to become a prolific target-man like former Gunners striker Adebayor.
He said: "We [Adebayor and I] have a similar playing profile. I guess with my height and my qualities in the air, playing in England was always my best option.
'My favourite position is up front with another striker as I think I can complement another forward perfectly."
