Samir Nasri has claimed that Arsenal supporters are not as passionate as their Manchester City counterparts.
The 24-year-old completed his transfer from the Gunners to City yesterday afternoon and revealed that the atmosphere generated at the Etihad Stadium was a major reason behind his decision to move there.
"I can see [the City fans] are really passionate and it reminds me a little bit of Marseille," said the French midfielder.
"Arsenal have good fans but not that passionate since they moved from Highbury to the Emirates [Stadium].
"I remember when we played against City, when we lost 3-0, the crowd was amazing.
"That is what I want. When you play football it is for a good atmosphere."
Nasri could make his City debut this Sunday when they travel to face Tottenham Hotspur.
