Arsenal are prepared to sanction the departure of Reiss Nelson at the end of the season.

The 24-year-old attacker has struggled for game time at Arsenal this season and he needs to leave the club to play more often.

A move away from Arsenal would be ideal for him and Nelson will be able to get his career back on track with regular football once again. A report from Football Insider claims that Brighton want to sign the 24-year-old in the summer and the Gunners will sell him for a fee of around £25-30 million.

Reiss Nelson needs to leave Arsenal

Nelson is yet to start a single game in the league for Arsenal this season and he has scored once in the League Cup and picked up two assists in the Champions League.

He needs to play more often at this stage of his career and Arsenal will not be able to provide him with that opportunity. An exit would be ideal for all parties. Brighton would get to improve their attack with his capture and Arsenal will be able to invest the proceeds from his departure into a new player who can help them improve.

The opportunity to join Brighton will be an exciting option for the player. They have played impressive attacking football under Roberto De Zerbi and they are eighth in the table. Nelson can continue his development with ample first-team action at Brighton.

He is versatile enough to operate on either flank as well as the central attacking midfielder. The Arsenal player could prove to be a quality investment for the Seagulls, especially for the reported price.
