Wenger believs the best is yet to come from the French midfielder, who has scored 11 goals for the club this season.
“We will try for a new deal,” Wenger said in reference to Nasri.
“I believe that for 90% of the players, their career depends on the club where they go.
“It looks to me he has made the right decision when he decided to join us, so it will be the right decision for him to stay with us.”
“We are in the middle of the season now and I will be happy for him if he becomes Player of the Year – but what is the most important for me is that the club wins,” he added.
“I believe the priority is not to win individual awards – the most important thing is that the players focus on making sure their club wins.
“Samir Nasri is an intelligent player and understands he plays where he can help the team most. He has become more efficient and is maturing.
“Nasri is only 23-years-old and at that age you develop.
“When Thierry Henry came here he was 23 already and still developed a lot so that means there is a lot more to come from Nasri, Fabregas and all these players, so they are not players who are at the end of their improvement.”
