Samir Nasri, after just seven months in the Premier League, has assessed Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger as the best he has played under. "I don't want to offend my previous coaches, but without hesitating I would say Arsene Wenger is the greatest coach I have ever had," the 21 year old told L'Equipe.

"He is a real good psychologist. We always talk together, during training-sessions, after matches, we take stock. He has statistics. He compares your match with the previous ones to tell if you ran more or less.

"It adds a demand level that urges you to excel yourself. He always gives you very concrete analysis. It makes me improve in a lot of aspects of my game.

"Moreover he has a huge quality in the football world: he is not a liar. What he says always happens."
