Samir Nasri has revealed the reasons why he is happy plying his trade at Spanish outfit Sevilla and a few of the factors involve off-the-field matters.

The Frenchman, who is no longer with model Anara Antanes, has put his happiness down to the 'good food and very nice girls' in Spain.

Nasri has impressed since joining Sevilla on a season-long loan deal, scoring three goals in 14 games during his time at Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium.

The 29-year-old also revealed he asked Manchester City's Spanish contingent Pep Guardiola, Jesus Navas, David Silva and Nolito about Sevilla before completing a switch.

Nasri, speaking to Sevilla's Football Club magazine: 'I asked Jesus Navas, [David] Silva and Nolito about the club, the city, and everything was good.

'There was good food, very nice girls... I talked to Guardiola and he told me there is a great coach in [Sevilla assistant] Juanma Lillo. That was all I needed to know. It was perfect for me.'

Nasri, who featured in Manchester City's 3-1 win over West Ham back in August, was told he could stay at the club but was keen on a change of environment.

'I had a good pre-season but needed a change. Guardiola wanted me to stay,' insists Nasri.

'In my last season, I had many injuries and wanted to start something new, fresh. So I contacted other clubs, but when I heard Sevilla, I knew I needed to come here.

'If you know anything about football, you know that Sevilla has returned many players back to the top.'
