Man City complete Nasri deal

Manchester City have finally completed a deal for Samir Nasri, in a move worth a reported 26m. Nasri has pushed for a move away from Arsenal for several months; and hit out at the Gunners as he left the club.

Nasri admitted that the decision was not easy but he was grateful for the experience at Arsenal and paid thanks to Arsene Wenger.

The Frenchman admitted that he had consulted Patrick Vieira, Kolo Toure and Gael Clichy prior to his move to the Etihad stadium.

Nasri claims that Man City supporters are "more passionate" than Arsenal fans, and said in his interview: "I'm here to play football and to enjoy it and win titles," Nasri told City's official website.

"I spoke to Patrick Vieira about the move as it was important to get advice from players who played for the club know the club very well. Vieira said City is the place to be. It is the club of the future, they want to win everything. They have a big, big, big project.

"I can see [Manchester City fans] are really passionate and it reminds me a little bit of Marseille.

"Arsenal have good fans but not that passionate since they moved from Highbury to the Emirates. I remember when we played against City, when we lost 3-0, the crowd was amazing.

"That is what I want. When you play football it is for a good atmosphere."
