Nasri move not close - Wenger

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger insists Samir Nasri is happy at Emirates Stadium and is a long way from a move to Manchester City.[LNB] Nasri has been expected to join City for quite some time now but Wenger says the move is nowhere near completion.[LNB]Nasri was a surprise starter in Arsenal's 2-0 defeat at home to Liverpool on Saturday and, with 10 days to go before the transfer window ends, Wenger hinted the 24-year-old may yet remain in north London.[LNB]"He is happy here. There is no departure of Nasri at the moment," Wenger told French media outlet TF1.[LNB]"Maybe one day, but it's far, far, far from being done."[LNB]Nasri's departure would leave the Gunners severely undermanned in midfield after Cesc Fabregas completed his protracted move to his hometown club Barcelona last week.[LNB]To add to Wenger's problems he is also without Alex Song and Gervinho due to suspension while Emmanuel Frimpong, who made his starting league debut yesterday, will also serve a ban after he saw red against Liverpool.[LNB]
