Manchester City are pushing to land Arsenal contract rebel Samir Nasri.
The Sunday Mirror says City believe they can land Nasri - after being rejected by Ajax wonderboy Christian Eriksen.
City distanced themselves from reports in Italy that they had agreed a £32million deal for Inter Milan's Wesley Sneijder.
City will step up their efforts to prise Nasri away from Arsenal after having a £21million offer rebuffed for a player who is entering the final year of his contract.
Arsene Wenger is desperate to keep Nasri with Cesc Fabregas top of Barcelona's wish-list.
