Samir Nasri Must Prove His Fitness to Earn Short-Term Contract at West Ham

West Ham will play hardball on a deal for Samir Nasri, demanding that the Frenchman gets into shape by losing 5kg, before they offer him a six-month contract.

Manuel Pellegrini is keen on a reunion with Nasri, who was part of the Manchester City squad that Pellegrini guided to the Premier League title in 2013/14.

West Ham are prepared to offer the former Arsenal midfielder an £80,000-a-week contract until the end of the season, but his condition has raised eyebrows upon his arrival in East London, where he underwent a medical.

The Mirror claims that Nasri must lose around 5kg by the turn of the year if he is to earn an offer from the Hammers.
