07/04/2008 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - France international Samir Nasri is just 10 days away from joining Arsenal, according to his agent.
The 20-year-old Marseille starlet claimed last month that he had agreed a deal to sign for the Gunners, only for his representative, Jean-Pierre Bernes, to deny the move had been finalized.
The highly-rated youngster was expected to move to the Emirates Stadium for a fee of around $30 million.
But after being in limbo for two weeks, Nasri is now believed to be close to sealing his move to the north London club.
"He is on his holidays," revealed Bernes. "It (the deal) will be made when he will be back, in about ten days."
Nasri, who has been a long term target of Gunners boss Arsene Wenger, made two substitute appearances for France, against Italy and Romania, at Euro 2008 as Les Bleus failed to progress from the group stage.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
