Mikel Arteta has confirmed Reiss Nelson will be given a chance to prove he can go “to the next level” at Arsenal.
Nelson, now 23, is into the final year of his Gunners contract and aside from a spell in 2019/20, he has failed to ever have a run in the first-team. He spent last season out on loan with Feyenoord, where he played more than 30 times, registering four goals.
He then returned to his parent club, but missed the majority of pre-season and the start to the new campaign with an injury. But now back to full fitness, Arteta has revealed he will be keeping a close eye on the academy graduate, whom he specifically wanted to return to the club.
