Nasri completes Manchester City move

Manchester City has completed the signing of Samir Nasri from Arsenal, adding the France midfielder to an expensively assembled squad already filled with attacking talent.

The 24-year-old Nasri signed a four-year contract on Wednesday after City paid a reported 24 million pounds ($40 million).

Arsenal was compelled to sell because Nasri refused to sign a new contract and could have left on a free transfer next year when his most recent deal expired.

Nasri will be providing even more creativity for a City team already including the attacking talents of Spain midfielder David Silva, England winger Adam Johnson and Argentina forward Sergio Aguero thanks to Sheik Mansour's investment of more than $1 billion in three years as owner.
