Arsenal are making progress in their talks to extend Reiss Nelson's contract at the Emirates Stadium with clubs from abroad showing transfer interest in the Hale End star. football.london reported at the start of March that the Gunners had opened talks with Nelson regarding extending his current deal that is set to expire in June this year.
The 23-year-old has proven to be a key player in Mikel Arteta's squad this season and hit the headlines following his dramatic 97th minute winner in the Premier League clash with Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium last month. Nelson has made just four appearances in the league so far this season but boasts an impressive record of three goals and two assists in just 102 minutes of action.
Despite the lack of game time though, Nelson has shown a desire to stay with the club where he has become a strong option for Arteta off the bench and when injuries have struck. His current deal is due to expire in the summer, but the Hale Ender's close relationship with Arteta is thought to be driving him to push for a stay at his boyhood club.
