Arsenal will entertain offers worth £25-30 million for homegrown star and 24-year-old winger Reiss Nelson in the summer.
According to Football Insider, Arsenal will seek bids in the region of £25-30 million for Reiss Nelson ahead of the summer window. The Gunners are open to selling the 24-year-old winger should a favourable proposal arrive, with Brighton understood to be keen on snapping the Hale End academy star.
Arsenal want £25-30 million for Reiss Nelson
Reiss Nelson has not started a Premier League game for a long time for, Arsenal, and the club may look to sell him. Considering his homegrown status, a sale would bring considerable funds to the club’s coffers should they achieve their target asking price.
Arsenal reportedly want £25-30 million for the 24-year-old winger, as Mikel Arteta will likely create space in the squad for another winger. Pedro Neto remains a firm target, while there are whispers about Nico Williams of Athletic Club, who is also considered a big option.
Selling some of their homegrown stars would bring the desired funds to help the club balance their act with the FFP regulations. Nelson, who has always been a substitute in games, does not have an important place in Mikel Arteta’s plans, meaning he is a dispensable asset for Arsenal.
The Gunners will want a considerable fee between £25-30 million, and considering Nelson only signed a new deal last summer, Arsenal are pretty much protected. Selling him for that price will be seen as an intelligent business that will allow the north Londoners to use the funds to invest in new arrivals in the summer.
Brighton keen on Reiss Nelson?
Brighton has always sought some interesting targets in the market over the last few years, and at a price that Arsenal is quoting for the 24-year-old winger, he might fall on their radar. The Seagulls are indeed interested in Nelson, although they could deploy a negotiation tactic to see them try and get the price down.
Arsenal will likely stand firm in their valuation of the 24-year-old winger, as more clubs might be coming into the equation. Nelson has proved his quality on the pitch as an inward wide-man, and surely many sides will keep close tabs, although the player will now decide based on where he plays regularly.
