“My departure from Arsenal was purely for sporting reasons.” — Samir Nasri Quote

“My departure from Arsenal was purely for sporting reasons.”

“Arsenal remains a big club, but the building of Emirates Stadium changed a lot of things.”

“Marseille has a big Muslim community. The good thing is it is a melting point: all nationalities in there. Everyone is fine with each other. It is really close to North Africa, to Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, so a lot of them come from there.”

“The women's game has grown, but when I was playing at Arsenal, I don't think people realised how good we actually were. I think there's just a perception that we just play football, but we're not very good, and it was a challenge for us to try and prove those type of people wrong.”

“I've been a follower of Arsenal Football Club since I was ten years old.”

“When you're a young lad in a team like Arsenal, you feel like, of course, you deserve to be at the club... but you're on the periphery, and there are world-class players and more experienced players around you.”
