Could the forgotten Arsenal winger Reece Nelson, 25, be resurrected? Promoted side Leicester City are keen on signing him.
European soccer transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano said on Thursday that “Leicester have opened talks with Arsenal for Nelson. Due to Arsenal’s financial requirements, a loan with a mandatory transfer option is being discussed. Leicester believe they can convince Nelson to join them if they can get the terms right, as he has worked with Steve Cooper in the past,” he exclusively revealed.
Nelson was a promising Arsenal prospect. Nelson began playing soccer in 2009 when he joined the Arsenal academy and was considered a highly touted talent as he progressed through the England age groups. He made his first-team debut at the age of 18 in the 2017-18 season and began to make a name for himself.
However, his career hasn’t progressed as much as expected since then due to frequent injuries. In 2018-19, he went on loan to Hoffenheim in Germany for a 카지노사이트 season before returning to the first team, but was not given many opportunities. In 2021-22, he moved to Feyenoord in the Netherlands for a new challenge, but once again, injuries prevented him from playing consistently.
Since then, Nelson has been relegated to the bench for Arsenal. Last season, Nelson made 15 appearances in the league, but only one start. Mikel Arteta’s plans for the club have completely excluded Nelson, and he is now a free agent this summer and is expected to leave Arsenal.
Nelson is currently attracting interest from several English Premier League (EPL) clubs. West Ham United and Crystal Palace are among the favorites to sign Nelson, with Arsenal asking for a fee of £15-20 million ($26.8-35.7 billion).
However, promotion-chasing Leicester have entered the race for Nelson. Cooper, the new Leicester boss, has coached Nelson in the past when he was in charge of England’s age-group national team. The Foxes are confident they can convince Nelson to join them if they can agree terms with Arsenal.
