The Frenchman would be a useful addition for Crystal Palace.
Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson will surely be looking to bolster his ranks at Selhurst Park this summer, in a bid to build a squad capable of challenging for the top 10 next season.
One area where the 71-year-old might want to strengthen is his attacking midfield department, with more creativity required in the middle of the park.
Crystal Palace also face the prospect of losing Wilfied Zaha this summer, according to the Daily Mail, so replacing the Ivory Coast international will be of paramount importance.
The problem for Hodgson, however, is that it is unclear as to how much money he will be given to spend, so he might just have to be thrifty in his player recruitment.
And with this in mind, Crystal Palace should consider taking a punt on Samir Nasri, who is set to be released by West Ham this summer, according to BBC Sport.
The 41-capped France international is incredibly talented and possesses excellent technique, although a move for him would not be without risk.
The 31-year-old really struggled with injuries when playing for West Ham during the second half of this season, and there is no guarantee that he would not do so again next term.
Crystal Palace really could do with someone in midfield who is capable able of unlocking the opposition’s defence, however, and Nasri might just be worth the risk.
He wouldn’t cost the Eagles anything, but his wage demands might be fairly substantial.
In spite of this, Hodgson should take a punt on the Frenchman this summer…it could turn out to be a signing of real significance for Palace.
