As a teenager, Arsenal star Reiss Nelson was one of the most highly-rated prospects at the Emirates Stadium, but he has yet to live up to the hype.
Nelson was moved into the senior team back in 2019 after impressing for the Gunners under-21 side and enjoyed good loan spells with Hoffenheim and Feyenoord over the past few years. The 22-year-old suffered a muscle injury at the start of the 2022/23 campaign, which has limited his game time this season.
Nelson replaced Bukayo Saka during the 5-0 win against Nottingham Forest on Sunday afternoon after the Arsenal star sustained an ankle injury that has left Mikel Arteta and Gareth Southgate sweating over his fitness ahead of the World Cup in a few weeks. Nelson came off the bench to score two goals and provide an assist for Thomas Partey's brilliant long-range effort.
