Gervinho still reeling from Nasri's Arsenal exit

Ivory Coast international Gervinho is still disappointed that former team mate Samir Nasri left the club, and insisted that the Frenchman promised they would play in the same team together.

"I wanted to play with Samir because he is a big player. His exit has left me in pain," Gervinho told RMC.

"He promised to be there this season - and then changed his mind.

"This is a different Arsenal. A new team without Nasri and Cesc. But we need to forget that and to turn the page.

"Now we must think only about the future."
