Reiss Nelson may become the next Arsenal player to depart during this transfer window, with talks reportedly taking place between the Gunners and Crystal Palace regarding his future. The winger spent last season on loan at Fulham, where he showed glimpses of quality in the matches he featured in. However, persistent injuries limited his overall contribution and hindered his ability to establish consistency.
At Arsenal, Nelson has struggled to secure a regular place in the first team, and the arrival of new signings has further reduced his opportunities. With limited prospects of breaking into the squad, his role at the Emirates has remained peripheral. At the age of 25, Nelson is now believed to recognise that the moment has arrived for him to prioritise regular football in order to build a stable career.
Crystal Palace Enter the Picture
Arsenal are understood to be sympathetic to Nelson’s situation and are prepared to assist him in securing a move away. Crystal Palace have emerged as a leading contender to sign the winger, offering him the prospect of more consistent playing time. The opportunity of joining the FA Cup holders is viewed as an attractive option for Nelson, who is eager to find a club where he can play an important role.
According to The Sun, discussions are already underway between Arsenal and Palace as they explore the possibility of finalising a deal. The report indicates that the south London club could provide Nelson with the platform he requires to revive his career, while also allowing Arsenal to streamline their squad during the closing stages of the window.
Arsenal’s Transfer Outlook
Arsenal remain open to several departures in the coming days, with Nelson among those most likely to move on. His exit would not only help him pursue his ambitions elsewhere but would also contribute to balancing the squad following the club’s recent additions. Supporters and observers alike acknowledge that Nelson has reached a pivotal juncture in his career, and a transfer appears to be in the best interest of all parties.
For Arsenal, facilitating Nelson’s departure could be seen as a pragmatic step, while for the player himself, a fresh start at Crystal Palace offers the promise of greater involvement and the chance to re-establish himself in the Premier League.

Dan kit
I believe Arsenal want around 15 million for Nelson, because his sale would be all profit.
Apologies I can’t remember the source, and even if I did it was a media source not AFC.
This must be one of the longest running (potential) transfer stories in the EPL. It was Fulham in the frame now it’s Palace. Yet here young Reiss still is, in limbo neither wanted by Arsenal nor the subject of any firm bid (so far).
If Arsenal wants him off the books finally, they may have to accept a worse deal than they perhaps hoped for. His injury record won’t help there, I suspect. Interestingly, no figures and/or terms generally are mentioned in the article.
Arsenal (and Berta) look like they could be struggling somewhat to offload a few players in the remaining few days of the window. However, Chelsea – who have outspent Arsenal this summer to date – look to be close to breaking even on transfers overall thanks to phenomenal selling in this window. Whether it’s footballers or fish fingers, it seems you’ve got to have “products” that the public really wants to buy.
