Manchester City playmaker Samir Nasri has signed a new five-year contract with the Premier League champions.
The Frenchman moved to the Etihad Stadium in 2011 and has since scored 22 goals in 129 appearances.
He played a key part in City s success last season, putting in a string of impressive performances and scoring in the 3-1 League Cup final win over Sunderland.
Nasri s form has now been rewarded with fresh terms, much to his delight.
I m really happy to have signed this contract and to have committed my future with City, Nasri told the club s official website.
I m 27 now and if you listen to some of the best managers in the game, they say that a midfield player s best years are between 27 and 30 so I hope that I will give my best years to City.
It took me time to adjust to living in Manchester because when you move here from London, it is a big change, but last year everything was perfect – I enjoyed my football and I love living in Manchester, feel very settled and I think that showed on the pitch.
That s why I ve agreed this new contract – because I feel very much at home. Our supporters have been right behind me and it gives me the confidence to play my best game.
Now I m looking forward to the new season and to defending our title again.
