Tottenham boss Redknapp: Nasri now out of Cesc shadow at Arsenal

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has hailed the campaign of Arsenal star Samir Nasri this season.

Redknapp rates Nasri as only being behind Gareth Bale as this term's standout player.

He told The Sun: "Arsenal used to be all about Cesc Fabregas but now it's not a one-man team over there at the Emirates.

"I love Nasri's touch and his confidence on the ball now.

"And I was so impressed with him when he helped France beat England at Wembley last year.

"It wasn't quite the Superman show that Gareth put on against Inter but it got pretty close to it.

"Nasri has emerged from the shadow of Fabregas to become a key figure in his own right for Arsene Wenger."
