Manchester City midfielder Samir Nasri has tipped Algeria to win the 2015 African Nations Cup tournament in Equatorial Guinea.
Ranked as the number one team on the continent, Algeria is seen as the favourites to win the competition next year.
Nasri who is of Algerian descent believes that the Desert Foxes are better equipped more than any other African team to win the competition.
The 27-year old said that he was impressed with their showing at the 2014 FIFA World Cup tournament in Brazil.
“I really appreciated Algeria’s outing at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil,” Nasri said. “It was widely unexpected and many people were stunned.
“They almost knocked out eventual winners Germany. It was awesome and I was greatly flattered,” he said.
“I can confirm that Algeria have progressed under new coach Christian Gourcuff. I have been following the team and I can boldly tip them to lift the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations trophy,” he said.
