Arsenal to pay 15 million euros for Nasri
-
Premiership runners-up Arsenal are to pay a transfer fee of 15 million euros (23.5 million dollars) to acquire 20-year-old French international Samir Nasri from Ligue 1 side Olympique de Marseille, the daily L'Equipe reported Wednesday on its web site.
Considered by many, including Real Madrid, to be the second coming of the great Zinedine Zidane, Nasri spent four seasons at Marseille, and became a cornerstone of the side.
The young midfielder had physical problems during the 2007-2008 season, including a bout of viral meningitus. But his recovery coincided with Marseille's late run to snatch third place in Ligue 1 and a spot in the Champion's League qualifying competition.
Nasri has won seven caps with France, scoring two goals, and is certain to be among the 23 players chosen by coach Raymond Domenech to take part in Euro 2008. -
