Wenger upbeat over Nasri swoop

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is confident Marseille playmaker Samir Nasri will be heading for the Emirates Stadium sooner rather than later.

Jean-Pierre Bernes, Nasri's agent, revealed on Thursday that his client is mulling over an offer from the Premier League side and Wenger now claims a deal could be completed in the next few days.

"There's a good chance of it happening," Wenger told Telefoot. "And if it does, it will be before the beginning of Euro 2008."

Nasri is currently training with France's provisional 30-man squad for next month's European Championships and will hope to be in the final 23 for the summer tournament which kicks off on June 7.
