Nasri: I just wanted to enjoy myself

New signing Samir Nasri admitted that he could not have dreamt of a better start to his career at Arsenal, after scoring the winning goal against West Brom.

The French international was Arsenal's highest-profile signing of the summer, and the most likely replacement for the departed Alexander Hleb.

Nasri said: "I could not dream of a better start, to score in my first game after four minutes.

"Now I will have to continue week in and week out, and hopefully I can keep playing like this. That will be brilliant.

"I did not feel nervous. Every time I go on the pitch, I always want to take a lot of pleasure from the game. I do not put pressure on myself.

"Before the game, the manager told me everything would be fine, and with the football we play at Arsenal, we would be OK.

"I just wanted to enjoy myself, and that is what I did."
