According to CBS Sports, Arsenal are now open to offers for winger Reiss Nelson this summer after a frustrating season.
Nelson has long been backed for stardom at Arsenal having emerged through the club’s ranks, but this season has not gone to plan.
The 21-year-old has played just 70 minutes of Premier League action this season across two substitute displays, with only five starts in all competitions.
Nelson needs playing time in order to develop, and Arsenal have seemingly decided that his future lies away from the Emirates Stadium.
The winger still has more than two years left on his Gunners deal, but they’re allegedly open to offers this summer as they look to sell Nelson.
There would surely be no lack of interest in Nelson give his potential, whilst he showed his quality on loan at Hoffenheim in the 2018-19 season with seven goals in 23 league games.
Nelson just hasn’t been able to feature this season, and finds himself behind the likes of Bukayo Saka, Nicolas Pepe, Emile Smith Rowe, Martin Odegaard, Willian and Gabriel Martinelli in wide areas.
Mikel Arteta called Nelson ‘special’ less than a year ago, but is now seemingly prepared to let him leave Arsenal in a move that fans may not like.
