He was brought in from Marseille by Wenger to add a little more creativity to the whole Arsenal set up, and, boy, has he added more than a little?
Last season, Nasri showed several glimpses of the genius in him but he had it tough going, especially with the physicality of the premier league.
But he still did enough to pull out as a fan's favourite. Greater things were expected of him this season and he didn't disappoint.
At a point he was Arsenal's top scorer with eleven goals, weighing in with pretty goals like the double against Fulham, that sizzler at Man City, among others. He also got in his fair share of assists.
The ultimate test came when both Robin Van Persie and Fabregas were injured, the little French dribbler stepped in beautifully and guided the team to maintain a strong challenge for the league title.
Nasri may have gone off form for a few weeks now (evidently the signs of fatigue), which incidentally coincides with Arsenal's recent poor run of form. If Arsenal were to shock themselves, do the herculean, and knock Man United off the top of the log, it would have been in no small part to the sheer brilliance of their French wizard, Samir Nasri.
