Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to discuss some 17-second footage of Reiss Nelson in training at London Colney.

The club posted the video yesterday, in which the 21-year-old can be seen pulling off some impressive finishes during an attacking drill.

Nelson can be seen curling an effort high into the top-left corner, while he’s also filmed holding off a coach before blasting the ball in at the near post.

Lastly, the clip ends with the 12-cap England Under-21 international pulling off some stepovers, before curling a delicate finish into the far post.

Given the eye-catching nature of his efforts, plenty of Arsenal fans were seen commenting on the post.

One was clearly excited, saying that the Gunners have their own Raheem Sterling in the Hale End academy graduate.

Another said that it seems as if Nelson is like Neymar in training – on the basis of the footage, we can’t argue with that.

Sadly, Arsenal own Sterling and Neymar can’t seem to get a kick under Mikel Arteta this season.

Nelson has made just two Premier League appearances this term, as well as four appearances in the Europa League.

He also has one FA Cup game and one Carabao Cup outing under his belt.

The Arsenal No.24 last played first-team football for the Gunners back on January 9th, when he helped beat Newcastle in the FA Cup.
