Nasri Unsure Over Gunners Future

Samir Nasri

Samir Nasri has cast more doubt over his Arsenal future by admitting he may not sign a new deal - and even refusing to play down the prospect of defecting to Manchester United.

Nasri is entering the final year of his contract and the Gunners may be forced to cash in this summer if he refuses to agree an extension.

France team-mate and United left-back Patrice Evra last week urged Nasri to join him at Old Trafford.

And the 23-year-old midfielder told TF1's Telefoot: "I don't know if I will sign a new contract. Anyway, the discussions are ongoing.

"For the moment, I don't think about this. We will speak about it after the match with Poland.

"Do I want to go to Man United? First, we should see if it's real and if it is concrete."

Walcott wants Nasri stay.

Meanwhile, Arsenal winger Theo Walcott has told Sky Sports News that he would love Samir Nasri to stay at the Emirates and for Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger to make some new signings.

Nasri has been linked with a move to Manchester United in the last few weeks and the French international has said he would stay, if Arsenal make some moves in the transfer market. Nasri only has 12 months left on his contract at the Emirates and is likely to leave in the next few weeks, unless a new contract deal can be agreed.

Walcott said: ‘We need to keep hold of our best players – but it’s up to Samir, it’s his decision. He’s a very important player to Arsenal and we’ll see what happens in the summer’.

On the subject of new players coming through the gates at the Emirates Stadium, Walcott is expecting players to sign and is hopeful that they can keep the best players and improve at Arsenal to finally win a trophy after five trophyless seasons in North London.*
