Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal reportedly ready to let go of a once highly rated star

Arsenal have been impressive in this summer transfer window as they have so far completed the signing of four players but they are however at the same time trying to sell some players behind the scenes to reduce on their squad. Arsenal has already let go or sold some players in this summer transfer window and its now reported that Mikel Arteta is willing to let go of a once highly rated winger.

Arsenal youngster Reiss Nelson has been loaned out to other European clubs in the last two seasons because Mikel Arteta was not sure that he would be able to give him enough minutes since he had other options. Reiss Nelson has returned to the Arsenal squad this summer after his loan in Netherlands and the fans are curious on whether he will stay at the club or be loaned/sold this summer.

Arsenal transfer news expert Charles Watts has revealed that Mikel Arteta and the hierarchy of the gunners have decided to sell Reiss Nelson in this summer transfer window because they feel he might not get enough chances next season. Reiss Nelson has only just one year remaining on his current contract at Arsenal and so the gunners could likely be on his way out despite Mikel Arteta’s insistence of giving chances to youngsters.

Reiss Nelson was once a highly rated youngster at Arsenal but his two loan moves haven’t been particularly impressive hence the fans not being fond of him as in the past.
