How much money West Ham wasted on Samir Nasri for 303 mins of football

Samir Nasri left West Ham United and joined Anderlecht earlier in July, ending a disappointing stint at the London Stadium. West Ham were warned against signing the 32-year-old, but they didn’t heed the advice and ended up wasting a lot of money on a player who produced very little.

Nasri signed a six-month deal with West Ham worth £80k-per-week in December 2018. The French international made only six appearances in all competition, amassing a paltry 303 minutes of playing time. He failed to score a goal during his short-lived spell in the English capital and ended up costing the Hammers more than £2m.
