Reiss Nelson needed to convince Mikel Arteta of his worth to the Arsenal team before agreeing a new deal worth around £20m.
The academy graduate's contract in North London expired at the end of the 2022-23 season, leaving his future up in the air. However, after making a number of valuable contributions to the Gunners' title charge last term, he has been rewarded with a new deal thought to be worth £100,000 per week over four years.
Nelson, 23, struggled for minutes in his first full season under Mikel Arteta. He was allowed to leave on loan to Feyenoord in 2021-22, but his form since returning to his parent club has helped the manager make up his mind.
