New Manchester City Star Driven by Ambition
Manchester City’s latest signing Samir Nasri has insisted he was driven by the ambition to win titles at Eastland was the reason for his move and not that money. The midfielder completed his move to the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday, ending an on-going transfer saga that had gone on over the whole summer.
Nasri was eager to leave Arsenal as he felt the club was not eager to win titles and he was disappointed by their lack of investment in the transfer window. He has admitted he was unsure of where his future would be towards the end of his Arsenal career, and says that he was left with no choice but to move to a further thinking club.
Nasri said “Why did I not sign a new contract with Arsenal? We started talking in October but by June I did not have any news and I didn’t see anything happening in the transfer market. There comes a time when you have to invest”
“I have heard people say I have moved for money. I make a good living at City, that is true, but I am 24 years old and I have reached a turning point in my career and it was important that I joined a club with ambition.”
“I believe I have more chance of winning titles at Manchester City than at Arsenal.”
Nasri added: “When did I make my decision? Early in July, when we returned for pre-season. I told the coach that I wanted to leave.”
