Arsenal new boy Samir Nasri is confident that he will fit easily into the Gunners' open, attacking style of football.
The 21-year-old former Marseille schemer believes that he will be able to progress his career under the guidance of Arsene Wenger, having struggled to make an impact at Euro 2008 with France.
Nasri told L'Equipe: "For me, Arsenal are the ideal club when you see the number of players who have gone on to develop there and have proved themselves there.
"It is important to go to a stable club, where there is no revolving door.
"At Arsenal, Arsene Wenger has brought through players, he is French, the team is young and we know the quality of the atmosphere there. For me it was the wisest choice.
"I have chatted to Arsene Wenger and I am going to play on the flank since it is there where the playmakers are, doubling up as wingers.
"That system suits me. I have played there for four years in the France youth team and also in the senior team. The left or the right, it doesn't matter to me."
