Arsenal make Reiss Nelson transfer decision as Mikel Arteta eyes squad improvements

With five signings already made this summer, Arsenal are still on the hunt to bolster their squad before the window shuts on September 1st. A central midfielder who can operate on the left and a winger is still high on Mikel Arteta's wish list despite the current priority being outgoings since the squad is far too heavy.

Raphinha was a serious target for the Gunners but the Brazilian expressed his desire to join Spanish giants and eventually the former Leeds star got his move in a deal that was worth approximately £55million. Arsenal were willing to pay huge money for Raphinha which suggests that funds are certainly available for a wide attacker to be signed.

But with not many ready-made wingers available on the market, perhaps the club may look at internal solutions, one of which is Reiss Nelson. The talented Hale End graduate broke into the first team in 2017 under the stewardship of Arsene Wenger but has never really been able to stamp his authority in the first team.
