Two-time Premier League winner Samir Nasri has become Western United's top transfer target ahead of their first season in the A-League.
Nasri, who won the Premier League twice with Manchester City, is a free agent after a recent spell with West Ham.
According to the Herald Sun, the 31-year-old is open to moving to Australia with Western United impressed by his knowledge of the local competition.
The new A-League club have already signed one marquee player in the form of Panagiotis Kone and are eager to add Nasri to their growing squad but will require the help of Football Federation Australia to get a potential deal done.
