Former Arsenal striker Marouane Chamakh is the latest target for new Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock.

Chamakh, 32, is a free agent, having been released by Premier League side Crystal Palace at the end of his contract in the summer.

The Morocco international had a three-year spell at Arsenal, having arrived from French club Bordeaux in 2010.

He had loan spells at West Ham United and Palace before joining the Eagles on a permanent basis in 2014.
