Arsenal has open contract talks with “comeback hero” Reiss Nelson, who scored the decisive goal that earned the team three much needed points against Bournemouth after having to fight back from two goals down on Saturday.
The 23-year-old winger is a product of the Gunners’ famed academy system, but he has made just eight appearances for the club this season and 56 in total since making a senior breakthrough in 2017. Inevitable questions of his future have been asked, with his current deal due to expire in the summer. He has always want to stay in Arsenal, which could make the contract situation easy.
He has previously bagged a brace against Nottingham Forest back in October, but he has struggled with a thigh injury since then. His dramatic cameo off the bench against Bournemouth saw him take in his first competitive minutes of 2023.
Should the contract situation failed, there are many clubs ready to pounce on the opportunity as his current contract expired at the end of the season.
