Arsenal in talks to keep 23-year-old at the club

Reiss Nelson is set to sign a new Arsenal deal after the club entered talks with his camp over an extension.

The attacker has been a fringe player for most of this campaign as a combination of injury and competition for playing places limit his chances at the Emirates Stadium.

However, in the few games he has played for the club, he has been influential and it is clear he is a player that can make an impact.

Arsenal has several top players on their books now, especially in attack, but Mikel Arteta has seen enough to suggest he can trust Nelson.

The Sun says his entourage and Arsenal are talking and hope to find an agreement soon.

Just Arsenal Opinion

Nelson is one of our own and he did well while on loan away last season, so we should give him another few years.

He may not be as influential as Bukayo Saka, but the 23-year-old can become one player who changes our matches off the bench.

Nelson will have many suitors for his signature when the term finishes, but his preference is also to remain at the club, which means talks of a new deal should not take too much time.

  1. He has been knocking on the door, I sanction any deal to keep him at the club, if he manages to put his injuries behind history will be kind to him.

    1. So where is he in the line of wingers? Seems like we are well covered in the area already.

      Saka
      Martinelli
      Trossard
      Eddie (sometimes put wide)

      What many people don’t seem to understand is that an academy has 2 purposes. New stars and revenue. Nelson has not been able to come close to breaking into the 1st team even when fit and isn’t even our first reserve.

      I think you don’t understand why players like Eddie and him need to be sold. We can get some revenue from them firstly and more importantly it allows new youngsters to take to the bench and show their potential in cup games. If we just get keep the 3rd string academy players around all they do is stop/slows us uncovering new gems from the academy.

      Have you even watched players like Amario Cozier-Duberry play?

      1. PJ-SA, I think it’s a good thing you mentioned revenue. Remember Nelson will be a free agent in summer therefore Arsenal can’t get any revenue if he joins another club. Giving him a contract means Arsenal can sell him in the future if it doesn’t work out at Arsenal. Eddie would have also left for free had he not signed a new contract.
        I also think you’re being unfair to both Eddie and Nelson – especially Eddie . Both have made important contributions to the team thus far. And I don’t think Eddie counts as a winger- he’s played nearly all his games as a striker.

        1. Eddie has played wing, especially in games where a striker comes on and he is moved out wide. Oh and we also have ESR coming back now too I forgot.

          Important contributions don’t mean you should be kept on I’m sorry. If you score a winner against Man City it doesn’t make you worthy of being in the 1st team squad for the whole season. Consistency is what counts and neither have provided that!

  2. And this is why our net spend is always shocking, compared to other clubs we rarely sell and when we do it’s with 7 hours left on a contract and we get 3 pork pies for the player.
