SAMIR NASRI JOINS VICENT KOMPANY IN ANDERLECHT AFTER HE WAS RELEASED BY WEST HAM

Samir Nasri has reunited with former Manchester City team-mate Vincent Kompany at Anderlecht following his release by West Ham.

The 32-year-old became a free agent after West Ham turned down the chance to renew the short-team deal he signed on December 31.

Anderlecht’s new player-manager Kompany spent six seasons playing alongside Nasri at City and he has moved to add the former France international to his squad.

Nasri, used six times by West Ham in the second half of last season, has been handed a 12-month deal by Anderlecht with the option of an additional year.

Kompany was appointed by Anderlecht last month and is tasked with improving on last season’s sixth-place finish.

Nasri, who has previously served an 18-month doping ban, won two Premier League titles and the EFL Cup during his time with City after three trophyless seasons with Arsenal.
