Arsenal season still a success says director Fiszman

Arsenal director Danny Fiszman says the club's trophy-less season and third-placed league finish can be viewed as a success.

Fiszman, the club's second largest shareholder, said: "It has to be seen as a successful season even though we didn't win any trophies. If you had asked fans at the start if they would be happy to finish in the top four and within 15 points of Manchester United, they would have taken it.

"We can't win every year and hopefully it will be our turn next year."

Arsene Wenger says the signing of Marseille's highly-rated playmaker Samir Nasri is likely to be completed soon. He said: "It is likely to happen. And if so it will be before the European Championship."
