It’s official.   According to Arsenal.com, here’s what Arsene had to say about it:

“We are delighted to be signing Samir Nasri. He is young, quick and technically an outstanding player. He has shown great potential with his performances for Marseille and the French national team over the past two seasons and he will add great quality to our squad.”

As for the player himself, he was quoted as saying:

“I’m very happy to become an Arsenal player, it means such a lot to me. This is a very important step in my life as a football player because Arsenal is a massive club. I really hope everything will go well for me here. I will do my best for Arsenal and its fans and I am honoured to be part of such a great football club.”

I’m sure all of us are relieved that this ordeal is finally resolved. Now let’s see him play.
