Arsenal's youth guru Liam Brady has backed in-demand midfielder Samir Nasri to remain at the club.
The Gunners head of youth development feels that France international, although hotly pursued by Manchester United, will be at the Emirates Satdium next season.
"We all rate Nasri," said Brady told talkSPORT.
"I believe they had extensive contractual talks but not reached a conclusion, but sometimes it takes time.
"I am optimistic he will be playing with Arsenal next year."
