'Held talks': Sky Sports journalist says £20m Arsenal player will decide his future after US tour

A £20m-rated Arsenal player will make a decision on his future after the US pre-season tour.

Arsenal have started to ramp up their summer business of late after a slow start to the transfer window.

Riccardo Calafiori is set to become their first signing and Mikel Arteta is hopeful Mikel Merino will become the second addition, having held talks with the Spanish midfielder.

To facilitate these incomings, they’ll have to trade and raise funds like all Premier League clubs and with that said, one player could be on his way out.

Reiss Nelson to decide future after US tour

Sky Sports journalist Dharmesh Sheth has provided the latest update on Arsenal winger Reiss Nelson’s future.

“Arsenal forward Reiss Nelson wants to assess all his options once he returns from the club’s pre-season tour of the United States,” Sheth said.

“A number of clubs in the Premier League and Europe are interested in signing Nelson this summer.

“Leicester City have held talks with Arsenal. West Ham are also keeping an eye on his situation.

“Nelson is open about his next move, but it’s thought staying in the Premier League is his preference.

“Nelson’s contract is up in 2027 with the option of a further year.”

Nelson is expected to cost forthcoming suitors around £20m this summer, according to Football London.

The 24-year-old is under contract at the Emirates until 2027, so Arsenal are in a strong negotiating position.
