ARSENE WENGER will not stand in Emmanuel Adebayor's way if he wants to quit Arsenal.
And the Gunners boss has even taken out some 'insurance' if his Togo striker leaves for AC Milan by lining up Marouane Chamakh.
Wenger has no wish to sell Adebayor, 25, who agreed a new contract last season but he has earmarked any transfer cash for Bordeaux's Morocco hitman Chamakh.
The Emirates chief said: "If Adebayor does not want to stay he will leave - although I think he will be still at Arsenal for this season."
Wenger also revealed he is ready to follow up his long-term interest in Chamakh - but added: "Only in the event of a departure."
Chamakh, 25, has been on Arsenal's radar ever since he exploded on the scene in France.
He has all the qualities Wenger likes in his front men - 6ft 2in tall, strong in the air, good close control and a tireless worker.
Defender Kieran Gibbs has become the latest Wenger starlet to sign a new deal.
The left-back, 19, joins Aaron Ramsey and Jack Wilshere in agreeing contract extensions.
Wenger said: "Kieran made such a great impact last season and the progress he made throughout the year was fantastic."
