Nelson Cleared For A Career Outside Arsenal FC

Reiss Nelson enrolled in the Arsenal Hale End Academy at the tender age of nine and progressed through the youth system before making his debut at 18 in the Community Shield victory against Chelsea in 2017. His first significant exposure to competitive football occurred during a loan spell at Hoffenheim, where he displayed immense potential by netting seven goals in 29 appearances. Subsequent to his successful loan spell, Nelson had his breakthrough under Unai Emery, featuring regularly for Arsenal despite encountering numerous injury setbacks.
Nevertheless, playing time became scarce under Mikel Arteta, even though he was among the manager’s preferred attacking substitutes. Due to the limited opportunities for game time, Nelson opted to join Feyenoord, contributing to their journey to the UEFA Conference League finals against Roma and securing a third-place finish in the Eredivisie that season. Nelson continued to face challenges under Arteta, who consistently favored certain players, resulting in limited playing time for Nelson. However, he made the most of his opportunities, scoring a brace and providing an assist as a substitute in the 5-0 victory over Nottingham Forest. Notably, he scored a decisive last-minute goal against Bournemouth in March 2023. Although Nelson was poised to depart Arsenal on a free transfer, he ultimately decided to extend his contract with the club for the foreseeable future.

During the previous season, Nelson accumulated a mere 579 minutes of playing time throughout the campaign, with two starts in the League Cup, one start, and 14 substitute appearances in the Premier League, and one start, and four substitute appearances in the Champions League. As Nelson was considered Bukayo Saka’s backup, he struggled to secure regular playing time, given Saka’s consistent presence in the team.
According to The Athletic, Nelson has expressed his willingness to depart from Arsenal this summer, as it has become apparent that he may never become a regular first-team player at the club. Several Premier League clubs have shown interest in acquiring his services, with Crystal Palace, Fulham, Nottingham Forest, and West Ham among those mentioned. Arsenal is reportedly open to accepting a £20 million fee for his transfer, which could be deemed a favorable deal.
While I admire Nelson, I believe his talents would be better utilized at mid-table clubs that can offer him consistent playing time and an opportunity to further develop his skills, as his progress has stagnated at Arsenal. I hope a transfer materializes, and we will eagerly await updates from reliable sources such as Fabrizio Romano and David Ornstein.
On a different note, the European Championships commenced yesterday with Germany facing Scotland in a match that ended in a one-sided victory for the former. My condolences to Kieran Tierney and the Scottish fans who attended the game at Allianz Arena. Undoubtedly, they sought solace in Bavarian beer following the defeat.
The onslaught began when Toni Kroos delivered a precise cross-field pass to Joshua Kimmich, who subsequently set up Florian Wirtz with a well-threaded pass. Although Wirtz’s connection with the ball was not ideal, Angus Gunn’s goalkeeping error allowed the ball to find the back of the net.

The second goal transpired after Ilkay Gundogan orchestrated a brilliant pass to Kai Havertz, who controlled the ball and assisted Jamal Musiala. Despite limited space, the young talent unleashed a powerful strike that left Gunn helpless in attempting a save.
Gundogan played a key role in the third goal as he was fouled by Porteous, resulting in a justified red card issued by the referee, Clement Turpin. Havertz capitalized on the situation, converting the penalty to extend Germany’s lead to three goals. With Scotland down to ten men and trailing by three goals at halftime, the challenge became increasingly arduous, and the floodgates opened further in the second half.
Niclas Fullkrug extended Germany’s lead with a clinical finish, but Scotland managed to pull one back when Hendry’s shot deflected off Toni Ruediger for an unfortunate own goal. Emre Can, a substitute, added to the scoreline with a well-placed shot that eluded Gunn’s reach.
As a neutral observer, the tournament’s opening match was enthralling, and I eagerly anticipate today’s fixtures. The only potential Arsenal involvement could be Jorginho’s participation against Albania, as David Raya is unlikely to start ahead of Unai Simon in Spain’s clash with Croatia.
