The Morocco international, who has 65 caps for his country, told the club’s official website, “I’m so happy to be here and work with the manager again.

“I worked for him [Neil Warnock] at Crystal Palace before and I’m happy and proud to work with him here at Cardiff City FC.

“Cardiff are a side that should be on top and I think we can improve going forward. I’m looking forward to meeting with my new team-mates and getting started. I can’t wait to score for my new team.”

Chamakh netted 15 Premier League goals during his time at Arsenal, Crystal Palace and West Ham United (loan).
