Samir Nasri has described Manchester City teammate Alvaro Negredo as the "signing of the season".

The striker, who joined the club from Sevilla during the summer, scored a hat-trick during the team's 6-0 victory against West Ham United in the Capital One Cup during the week.

The French international told Sky Sports News: "I think he is the signing of the season so far.

"He's scored plenty of goals, he can hold the ball, he can play, he can find the space, he's a good finisher and he works a lot. He's been really good for us, I think he is the complete striker."

City face Newcastle United on Sunday.
