Mikel Arteta could play Arsenal winger Reiss Nelson as a striker
The report has claimed that Arteta is planning to use Gabriel Martinelli down the middle for Arsenal.
The Arsenal forward tends to start on the left of a front-three for the Gunners.
The report has added that Arteta could also use Nelson down the middle as a central striker.
Described as “a super-talented player” by former Manchester United and Manchester City player Hargreaves on Premier League Productions (30/10/22 at 4:05 pm). Nelson is a winger by trade.
Brazil international striker Jesus is injured at the moment and may not be back in action for three months.
Chance for Reiss Nelson
In our opinion, if Reiss Nelson gets the chance to play down the middle for Arsenal, then he should welcome it with open arms.
The winger is essentially a squad player at Arsenal, and it would e great for him on a personal level to play anywhere on the pitch for the Gunners.
The 22-year-old English winger has made two substitute appearances in the Premier League for Arsenal so far this season.
The youngster has scored two goals and given one assist in those games.
Nelson has also given one assist in one Carabao Cup match and has made two starts and two substitute appearances in the UEFA Europa League for Arsenal so far this season.
