Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to react after some 10-second footage emerged of Reiss Nelson destroying Hector Bellerin in training.
The video in question shows Arsenal’s No.24 receive a floated pass from Rob Holding out on the left flank.
Nelson’s first touch kills the ball on his chest, before he quickly flicks it past Bellerin before the Spaniard can steady himself.
Then, the 21-year-old pulls off a smooth stepover to put himself through on goal, where he smashes the ball into the back of the net.
It was a 10-second reminder of just how good the 12-cap England Under-21 international really is.
Hopefully Mikel Arteta saw Nelson’s goal. The Spaniard has somewhat frozen the winger out since January.
The Hale End academy graduate hasn’t kicked a ball since the 2-0 win over Newcastle in the FA Cup, which took place on January 9th.
In total, Nelson has only made eight appearances in all competitions this term.
If Arteta isn’t planning to use him, he must find a loan move for the exciting forward.
As we can clearly see, Nelson has too much talent to just be playing Under-23 football.
He needs first-team football week in, week out, like Joe Willock is getting at Newcastle.
Let’s see how the Arsenal fans on Twitter reacted to the footage…
