Arsenal are ready to offer Reiss Nelson a new contract for him to stay at the club.
The 23-year-old winger who is a product of the Arsenal’s academy system, has reportedly entered contract discussions with the club after scoring a crucial goal in their pursuit of the Premier League title in Saturday’s win over Bournemouth.
Despite only making eight appearances for the Gunners this season and 56 in total since his debut in 2017, Nelson has expressed his interest in staying at the Emirates Stadium.
His current contract expires this summer, leading to speculation about his future.
Nelson’s latest performance saw him score a 97th-minute winner against Bournemouth, solidifying his place in the team and raising the possibility of an extended stay at Arsenal.
Though he previously suffered a thigh injury and remains on the fringes of the squad under manager Mikel Arteta, his recent contributions have rekindled discussions about his future at the club.
Given Nelson’s desire for more playing time and Arsenal’s desire to hold onto their homegrown talent, a new contract for him would be beneficial for all parties involved. It would give him more opportunities to prove himself on the field of play.
