Mancini: Nasri deal close

Roberto Mancini hinted he expects to finalise Samir Nasri's move from Arsenal to Manchester City "this week", amid widespread reports that a deal is almost complete.

Several reports on Friday claimed Nasri is set to undergo a medical at Eastlands, ahead of signing a five-year deal.

Mancini expressed his frustration last week that the deal had not yet been completed and, asked if there has been progress since, Mancini said: "I hope. I hope we can complete our target. The season is long, it's hard, and we need [to do this]."

Mancini said that, due to the failure to offload squad players such as Emmanuel Adebayor and Craig Bellamy, it has been difficult to complete their transfer business.
