Arsenal could loan out Reiss Nelson and Calum Chambers in the January transfer window, Goal.com say.

Nelson and Chambers have both been handed fleeting opportunities in Arsenal’s first-team this season, but have not nailed down a place.

The pair have both struggled with injury, and it seems that Arsenal may decide that they are better off spending the season elsewhere getting regular game time.

If £16 million man Chambers (BBC Sport) was loaned out then he would surely attract interest from Premier League clubs, as he has proven he can perform at the top level over a number of years.

Nelson’s destination would be more uncertain, but it is likely that Arsenal would want him to join a top flight club.

The prospect is still considered a talent at the Emirates Stadium, but he hasn’t featured particularly regularly since Arteta’s arrival.

Nelson could, therefore, benefit from being a key star elsewhere, before returning to Arsenal an improved player next season.
