Will Samir Nasri live up to Arsenal's Number 8 expectations?

Samir Nasri, the twenty one year old French footballer, is going to wear the legendary number 8 jersey of Arsenal and this has created another controversy among fans. The number 8 jersey in Aresnal, one of the top English football clubs, has been wore by the club's top scorers like Ian Wright, Freddie Ljungberg, Alan Ball, George Graham, Charlie George. When a player becomes famous wearing a number, it becomes special among fans and the one who wears that same number is also expected to perform well. Though talented Samir Nasri is very young and does not come with much experience. Already, Arsenal is saying that Nasri is going to be the next Zinedine Zidane. This is a great responsibility and with great responsibility comes great stress. Hope Samir Nasri can handle it and live up to the expectation.
