Man City signing Nasri denies leaving Arsenal for money

Manchester City signing Samir Nasri denies he quit Arsenal for the money.

Nasri tripled his wages with a £175,000-a-week deal when he left Arsenal for the Etihad Stadium for a £24million fee.

But France star Nasri, 24, is angry at suggestions that the thought of cash came before cups.

He insisted: "Money is not really a factor. I can let people think what they like.

"Me, I know my choice. It was about football and we will see that at the end of the season when we lift a trophy and talk about my choice again. People who talk about money will see they are wrong."
