According to CBS Sports, Arsenal are now open to offers for winger Reiss Nelson this summer after a frustrating season.
Nelson has long been backed by stardom at Arsenal after emerging in the club’s ranks, but this season has not gone as planned.
The 21-year-old has played just 70 minutes of Premier League action this season in two substitute shows, with just five starts in all competitions.

Nelson needs playing time to develop, and Arsenal have apparently decided that their future is far from Emirates Stadium.
The winger still has more than two years left on his contract with the Gunners, but they are reportedly open to offers this summer as they look to sell Nelson.
Nelson’s interest in his potential would surely not be lacking, as he demonstrated his quality on loan at Hoffenheim in the 2018-19 season with seven goals in 23 league games.

Nelson has simply not been able to participate this season, and he is behind players like Bukayo Saka, Nicolas Pepe, Emile Smith Rowe, Martin Odegaard, Willian and Gabriel Martinelli in wide areas.
Mikel Arteta called Nelson “special” less than a year ago, but now he seems poised to let him leave Arsenal in a move fans may not like.
