Fulham is in talks with Arsenal to sign winger Reiss Nelson on a permanent deal.
Fulham is reportedly in talks with Arsenal to sign winger Reiss Nelson on a permanent deal. The 25-year-old had a loan spell at Craven Cottage last season, making 12 appearances before suffering a serious hamstring injury that required surgery.
Despite his limited playing time, Nelson is said to have made a positive impression on Marco Silva’s coaching staff, who are keen on keeping him at the club. Nelson is believed to be open to the move and would welcome the chance to remain at Fulham beyond the summer window.
If a deal is finalized, Nelson could potentially return to action in late July, allowing him to feature in pre-season preparations. Fulham is also interested in signing Oleksandr Zinchenko from Arsenal.
Nelson’s departure from Arsenal seems imminent, with the club exploring options to strengthen their left wing. Even if Fulham’s bid is unsuccessful, Nelson is still expected to leave Arsenal this summer.
The potential signing of Nelson would be a strategic move for Fulham, providing them with a talented winger who could make a significant impact on the team. With Nelson’s injury setback, it’s uncertain how much of a role he will play in the upcoming season, but his talent and potential are undeniable.
