Wenger expects Adebayor stay
Gunners manager admits interest in Chamakh
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is confident Emmanuel Adebayor is not set to quit in order to join AC Milan, but accepts the striker could leave if he is not committed.
The Togo star has long been linked with a move to the San Siro, with rumours that the Gunners could accept a big-money offer to create transfer funds.
With Arsenal having failed to win a trophy since the 2005 FA Cup, it has also been speculated that Adebayor is keen to move in order to find success elsewhere.
But Wenger believes the 25-year-old, who joined Arsenal in 2006, will remain in North London for the new campaign.
"If he does not want to stay, he will leave but I think that he will be still at Arsenal this season," the Frenchman told RMC.
Benzema interest
Wenger has also admitted that he would consider Bordeaux striker Marouane Chamakh as a possible Adebayor replacement.
Asked if the Morocco international is of interest, he said: "Yes, but only in the event of a departure."
Wenger has also confirmed that he was tracking Karim Benzema
before big-spending Real Madrid had a €35million (£30m) offer accepted for the Lyon striker.When asked which French players he admired, Wenger said: "There is one who interested me but he (Karim Benzema) left for Madrid.
"I did not make of approach because I would never have thought that Lyon would sell this year."

Adebayor staying at Arsenal
Striker to snub Italian interest
Emmanuel Adebayor's agent insists the player has no plans to quit Arsenal this summer.
The Togo international's future has been the subject of intense speculation since the end of last season with reports suggesting he is unhappy in North London.
AC Milan have confirmed their long-term interest in the player and recent reports claim they are ready to offer former Gunners midfielder Mathieu Flamini in part-exchange.
However, Adebayor's representative, Stephane Courbis, says the player is staying at Arsenal despite the interest from other clubs.
Asked by Observer Sport whether Adebayor would be leaving Arsenal, Courbis said: "No, no."
When asked if the striker definitely wanted to stay at the club, Courbis added: "Yes. It's the same [situation] as last week."

Italy Serie A not as glamourous as La Liga or BPL.
He realises wages and bonuses so much better than at BPL, unless barcelona or RM came in for him.
