Arsenal: Gunners confident over Reiss Nelson contract.
The Emirates Stadium academy graduate is set to become a free agent in the summer should he not sign an extension.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal is feeling optimistic about securing a new contract for Reiss Nelson, their talented forward. Nelson, a product of the Emirates Stadium academy, has made 65 senior appearances for Arsenal since his promotion to the first team in 2019. However, his future has recently been uncertain as his current contract is set to expire at the end of the season, making him a potential free agent in the summer.
Several clubs have shown interest in Nelson, including Brighton and Hove Albion, West Ham United, and AC Milan, despite his lack of starts in the Premier League this season. Nonetheless, it appears that Arsenal is now confident that they can reach an agreement with Nelson and secure his services for the long term. Romano took to Twitter to reveal that Arsenal has proposed a four-year contract to Nelson, with an option for an additional season. Talks are progressing, and all parties involved are optimistic about reaching a positive outcome.
Although Nelson has struggled with a thigh injury this season, limiting his playing time, he has showcased his abilities when given the opportunity. In 10 Premier League appearances, he has contributed three goals and two assists, demonstrating his potential impact. Known for his explosive style of play, Nelson has an average of 8.45 shot-creating actions per game, which is higher than any of his teammates, highlighting his creativity and attacking prowess. Moreover, he has versatility, having operated in eight different positions since emerging onto the scene.
With Arsenal already securing the futures of Aaron Ramsdale and Bukayo Saka, it appears that Nelson is on track to follow suit and commit his future to the club. Arsenal recognizes his potential and the value he brings To the team, making retaining his services a logical decision. As negotiations progress towards a long-term contract, Arsenal remains confident that they can secure Nelsons signature and ensure his continued development and contribution to the clubs success.
