Moussa Maazou (AS Monaco)
Niger attacker Moussa Maazou appears to be on his way out of Russian powerhouse CSKA Moscow as Ligue 1 side Bordeaux have shown an interest in signing the young striker, if a report in L'Equipe is to be believed.

The Girondins are in the market for attacking reinforcements because of the departure of Marouane Chamakh to Arsenal and the ongoing uncertainty about the future of Argentinian striker Fernando Cavenaghi.

New head coach Jean Tigana supposedly sees the 22-year-old Maazou as the perfect addition to his front line and Bordeaux are hopeful to complete the signing of the forward in the upcoming days.

Maazou joined CSKA Moscow from Belgian side Lokeren in January 2009, but he failed to make an impact at the Army Club. Therefore, he was farmed out on loan to Monaco in the second half of last season.

CSKA have reportedly set a €4.5 million asking price for Maazou and Bordeaux seem to be willing to meet the Russian side's demands.
