Olympique Marseille have denied a newspaper
report that Arsenal were chasing the Ligue 1 club's
playmaker Samir Nasri.
"We have not received any offer from Arsenal for Nasri,"
Marseille sports director Jose Anigo told regional radio
station France Bleu Provence on Friday.
French sports daily L'Equipe wrote on Friday that France international Nasri was
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger's top priority for next season.
The versatile 20-year-old, who has been compared to
France great Zinedine Zidane, extended his Marseille contract
to 2012 earlier this month.
