Reiss Nelson has been linked with a move away from Arsenal this summer.
West Ham United are interested in signing the 26-year-old, and the two clubs are currently locked in talks over a potential move, according to the Evening Standard. The 26-year-old was on loan at Brentford and Fulham in the last couple of seasons.
Reiss Nelson needs a move
Nelson is not a key part of Arsenal’s plans, and he needs to leave the club permanently. He will be hoping to sort out his future quickly and focus on playing regularly.
West Ham United will be able to provide him with that opportunity. They need more quality in order to bounce back strongly after a disappointing season. West Ham will be pushing for promotion next season, and Nelson could be an important player for them. The 26-year-old has the quality to thrive in the Championship, and he could be a difference-maker for them.
Meanwhile, the player is in the final year of his contract with Arsenal, and the Gunners will look to sanction his departure this summer. They will not want to lose the player for free next year.
