Former Arsenal and Manchester City midfielder Nasri has been given the chance to return to the Premier League with West Ham United.

Antalyaspor's new transfer Samir Nasri poses for a photo during an exclusive interview in Antalya, Turkey on August 31, 2017.

Samir Nasri appears to have from now until January to prove that he’s worth the risk for West Ham United.

The 31-year-old Frenchman has been out of the game since being released by Antalyaspor in January and he is severely lacking in match sharpness after spending the majority of 2018 serving a doping ban.

So West Ham are determined to take their time before they decide whether or not to hand Nasri a route back to the Premier League.

According to The Standard, the former Arsenal and Manchester City midfielder started training with The Hammers last week as he looks to earn a six-month contract with the London Stadium club.

And, on Wednesday morning, the first photos have emerged on Twitter showing Nasri in West Ham colours.

The former France international enjoyed arguably the greatest season of his career alongside current West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini in 2013/14, playing a major role as Manchester City won the Premier League title.

So if there is anyone capable of getting the famously enigmatic Nasri back on track, the Chilean could be the man for the job.
