Mikel Arteta handed new Arsenal transfer priority after Reiss Nelson contract breakthrough

Arsenal's transfer business will be under the microscope this summer as Mikel Arteta looks to close the gap between his squad and Manchester City. Many will look at incomings and outgoings as the way to do just that, but perhaps one of the other solutions comes within the squad itself.

The Gunners have already started making progress on this, signing Aaron Ramsdale, Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka all to new long-term deals, reflecting their importance in the squad. The latest that seems likely to join them in committing their future to the project is Reiss Nelson.

football.london understands the young winger looks set to sign a new four-year deal at the club, having nearly reached the end of his current contract this summer. The Hale End academy product has played an important role at times this season, none more so than his 98th minute winner against Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium.
