Nasri joins Sevilla on loan

Manchester City midfielder Samir Nasri has joined Spanish club Sevilla on a season-long loan deal.

France international Nasri, 29, has left City despite making his first appearance of the season in Sunday’s 3-1 home win against West Ham.

City manager Pep Guardiola did not allow Nasri to train with the main group when he reported back for pre-season as he had returned overweight.

Keeper Joe Hart and striker Wilfried Bony have also left City on loan.

England keeper Hart has joined Italian side Torino and Ivory Coast international
Bony has gone to Stoke, both until the end of the season.

“It’s been a pleasure thanks to everyone in the club and the fans for the five amazing years and wish you best of luck for the season,” Nasri posted on social media.
