Man City closing in on Samir Nasri
Manchester City are closing in on a £20million swoop for Arsenal star Samir Nasri, Sky Sports sources understand.
The French midfielder has been heavily linked with a move away from the Emirates Stadium this summer, with a host of top European clubs thought to be chasing his signature.He has yet to put pen to paper on a new Gunners contract, with his current terms set to expire next year.
Manchester United were previously tipped as frontrunners to secure Nasri's signature, but it seems big-spending local rivals City have now taken pole position in the race to sign him.
The Blues are also reportedly close to capturing Arsenal left-back Gael Clichy, while Gunners captain Cesc Fabregas is expected to leave this summer, meaning manager Arsene Wenger could be left without several of his key players next season.
France international Nasri enjoyed an impressive campaign last season, but could not help the Gunners end their trophy drought, which has stretched over six years.
The 24-year-old arrived at the Emirates from Marseille in 2008 and has since notched up over 80 appearances for Wenger's side.
