Arsenal midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Samir-Nasri-c32360 looking to extend his stay at the club
Arsenal midfielder Samir Nasri has expressed his gratification over staying at Emirates but wants to sign a new contract by the end of the season.
Samir Nasri’s agent publicly stated that the Frenchman is more than happy at Arsenal and wants to extend his stay at Emirates. He added that Nasri also wants to win few laurels with the Gunners before making a move away from north London.
The 23-year-old said, “We promised each other to speak about this subject after the season ends. One of the reasons I came to Arsenal was to win titles and I'm not expecting to leave without one.”
Samir Nasri, whose current contract is set to expire by the end of the 2011-12 season, has admitted that he is pleased to hear rumours linking him with the big clubs of Europe. But the former Marseille player insisted that he wants stay at Arsenal for a
long time.
He added, “I'm always flattered when my name is mentioned in connection with any big club. But I also know how things work. I don't think about these things. If there was any offer it would be different, then I would have to make a choice. As things are
right now, I feel happy here and I have the confidence from the manager. But things can change quickly in football and then we could have a new situation.”
The French midfielder has been exceptional in the ongoing 2010-11 season and his impressive performances have put Arsenal in a place where they can challenge at four fronts. Nasri has not won any silverware with Arsenal since his arrival from Marseille for
reportedly £12.5 million in 2008.
The Gunners are also without any trophy for the past five years and their last silverware was the FA Cup in 2005 which they won against Manchester United on penalties.
However, Arsenal are well on track to end their trophy drought, as they are the only team in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 to play in four different tournaments.
Samir Nasri and his teammates are already through to the final of Carling Cup. The Gunners will play Premier League minnows Birmingham City at Wembley and are favourites to win the League Cup for the first time in 17 years.
Moreover, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 are the only team remaining in the Barclays Premier League to rival Manchester United for the domestic title. The Gunners are placed second and are only four points behind Sir Alex Ferguson’s men.
Furthermore, Arsenal hopes of winning their first ever Champions League title are very much alive after their sensational win over the favourites http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 at Emirates. However, the Gunners are yet to visit Nou Camp and would need a positive result in order
to march on to the next round.
