Arsenal look set to complete their first summer signing by securing a deal for Marseille's Samir Nasri.

The Gunners have been tracking the French international for some time and are believed to be closing in on a £13million transfer.

Looks like that should be a done deal by the start of the Euros.

Because he's crap and you want shot of him or because you need the money? :)

Spurs never seem to short of transfers. Not sure we need another central defender although murmerings are that Kaboul will be out by next season.

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

Dawson is for sale as well and Juande don't trust King's fitness. Ferdinand hmm he ain't bad just don't think you are signing anything special, he is probably a bit to old to improve anymore as well, think of him as a classy Titus Bramble rather than the next Rio.

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

this year spurs are really buying players :p:

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

First i've heard of Dawson being on the transfer list, but it doesn't surprise me. He's been excellent for us, filling King's shoes, including captaincy adeptly, so knowing us we'd sell him. Apparently Tom Huddlestone and Aaron Lennon are set to be transferred before the end of the season :(

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

Must have written by a scouser then, because it's wrong. Chelsea, are in fact, top of the list.
