Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini is determined to close a deal for Arsenal midfielder Samir Nasri.
After the 3-2 win over Bolton that put City top of the fledgling Premier League table, Mancini expressed his frustration that the deal has not yet been finalised.
The Italian said: "For 40 days I've hoped in two days, three days (it would be done), I don't know why we haven't closed it.
"It's a big problem (if he plays for Arsenal against Udinese) but I'm sure we can close in 24 hours, maybe 48. For Nasri it will be important he can play in all the Champions League matches."
