Midfielder loving life at Emirates Stadium
Samir Nasri has expressed his delight at the way he has adjusted to life at Arsenal.
The 21-year-old midfielder moved to Emirates Stadium from Marseille over the summer and scored on his Premier League debut against West Brom.
He has also turned in impressive performances against FC Twente and Newcastle, and has managed to break back into the France side.
Nasri is pleased to have settled in so quickly and is looking forward to a bright future with the club.
"I am very happy. I have been able to regain my place in the national side, there is a good atmosphere at the club, and we have a very young squad that shares my excitement," he said in the
Daily Express.
"I do not feel that I am in a foreign country - with all the French speakers around I am not in an unknown territory. I have settled in very well."
Pires comparison
Nasri has been likened to Robert Pires due to his style of play and he hopes to make the same sort of impact at Arsenal as his compatriot.
However, Nasri has played down the comparisons, saying: "I have heard that I have been cast as the successor to Pires but that is difficult to bear as he did some magnificent things with Arsenal.
"The comparison is flattering. But I need to adapt to the style of play and to acclimatise over here.
"I would love to have the same sort of career he had for the club."
