Reis Nelson Sign New Four-Year Arsenal Contract

Arsenal star, Reiss Nelson has signed a new long-term contract with the Premier League side.

The winger technically became a free agent at the end of June but has turned down approaches from clubs at home and abroad, notably in Italy, to stay at his boyhood club.

Nelson last penned a long-term contract at Emirates Stadium in 2018 and has since embarked on loan spells with Hoffenheim and Feyenoord.

The 23-year-old has so far made 66 appearances for the Gunners, scoring seven goals and making seven assists, and was recently voted the Premier League’s Gamechanger of the Season for 2023/24 for his matchwinning contribution to the 3-2 win over Bournemouth in March.

It’s understood he’s signed a four-year deal and he’ll continue providing cover on the flanks for Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli.

Manager Mikel Arteta is pleased that a player he rates so highly will continue to be available to him.

“Reiss is a player I have admired since the first day I was here,” he made this known in an interview.

“He has tremendous ability and is such an exciting offensive talent. Reiss knows how important he is to our squad with the quality he has.

“It’s great that Reiss has committed his future to us – he knows this club so well, he grew up here and we look forward to enjoying many more good moments with him.”
