Arsenal, the North London football club, is reportedly ready to accept offers for winger Reiss Nelson before the transfer window closes. This news comes as Arsenal prepares to continue their winning streak in the new season with an upcoming Premier League match against Brighton and Hove Albion.
The Gunners have had a perfect start to the new season under Mikel Arteta’s leadership. They've secured victories against both Wolves and Aston Villa in the first two weeks of the campaign. Their next challenge lies at The Amex where they will face Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday.
Brighton, like Arsenal, has also won their opening two matches which indicates that they will provide a stern test for Arteta's side. However, Arsenal remains hopeful of maintaining their winning record.
Potential departure of Reiss Nelson
While there is excitement on the pitch, off it there are speculations about one player potentially leaving Emirates Stadium soon. According to Football Insider, fringe player Reiss Nelson could be exiting if a suitable offer comes through before the end of this transfer window.
Nelson has been part of Arteta’s first team but hasn't managed to secure his place as a regular starter at The Emirates despite making 90 appearances at senior level since graduating from their youth academy.
His only appearance this season was as a late substitute during Arsenal’s win over Aston Villa at Villa Park last Saturday. It seems that if he wishes for more playtime elsewhere, Arsenal would not stand in his way.
Interest from other Premier League clubs
Earlier this summer Leicester City, West Ham United and Crystal Palace showed interest in acquiring Nelson but were put off by Gunners' valuation of him.
Despite having his contract with Arsenal set until 2026/27 end-of-season campaign it appears increasingly likely that he might depart from The Emirates this summer.
As the transfer window deadline approaches, it remains to be seen where Reiss Nelson will end up. Whether he stays or leaves, Arsenal's focus is clear - to continue their winning streak in the new season. The upcoming Brighton and Hove Albion match will be a crucial test for them.
