Marseille boss Eric Gerets is delighted to see former players Djibril Cisse and Samir Nasri thriving in England.

Cisse has impressed on-loan at Sunderland, while Nasri was outstanding for Arsenal in Saturday's victory over Manchester United.

"Cisse scored four goals, it's less than what he was used to scoring for Marseille," Gerets said. "But we know that as long as he will be able to walk, he will carry on scoring goals.

"Nasri proved he is one of the top three or four French players. His health did not allow him be at the top of his game last season but I am extremely happy for both of them, as they are settling in England and playing very well."
