Marouane Chamakh is a shock target for Tottenham Hotspur.

Andre Villas-Boas is determined to sign a new striker before the 31 August deadline, and is struggling to take Emmanuel Adebayor back from Manchester City.

But even if he does finally land the Togolese forward, he is set to make a shock move and ask Arsenal for Chamakh, who has flopped at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsene Wenger is prepared to offload the Moroccan, but it remains to be seen if the Gunners boss would be willing to see him move to their archrivals.
