Samir Nasri joins Sevilla from Manchester City on season-long loan
Manchester City midfielder Samir Nasri has completed a season-long loan move to La Liga side Sevilla.
The France international made just 12 Premier League appearances for Manchester City last season in what was an injury-hit campaign, scoring two goals.
Nasri, 29, was linked with a move to Turkish side Besiktas but opted for Sevilla and the chance to play Champions League football.
Nasri missed all of City’s preseason after returning to training overweight and did not feature in City’s first four games of this campaign.
He was ruled out for six months after having surgery on a groin tendon injury, which meant he was dropped out of Manuel Pellegrini’s Champions League squad on their run to the semifinals.
The former Marseille player joined City for £25 million from Arsenal in August 2011 and won two Premier League titles as well as collecting two League Cup and one FA Cup winners’ medal.
