Reiss Nelson has reportedly agreed to join West Ham United, with the East London club closing in on signing the 24-year-old Arsenal homegrown attacker.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Reiss Nelson is the subject of interest from West Ham United. The 24-year-old attacker has also been a target for Crystal Palace in the summer transfer window. However, the Arsenal homegrown player has agreed to join the Hammers instead of the Eagles.
The Reiss Nelson tale
Reiss Nelson has struggled for prominence since breaking into the first-team squad at Arsenal a few years ago. The Englishman made his senior bow for Arsenal at the onset of the 2017/18 season. However, he has never been a regular starter for the North London club in the last seven years.
The 24-year-old homegrown player has made only 89 appearances thus far for Arsenal in seven years while chipping in with eight goals and nine assists. So, it is hardly surprising that Nelson faces an uncertain future at the North London club in the summer transfer window.
With the former England youth international struggling to make his mark for Arsenal, he needs to depart from the Emirates to resurrect his stuttering career. Nelson does not have a shortage of suitors pursuing his signature in the summer transfer window, with Crystal Palace and West Ham United interested in handing him an escape route from Arsenal.
Move across London on the cards?
Crystal Palace’s interest in Reiss Nelson is understandable. The Eagles have parted ways with Michael Olise in the summer transfer window, while Eberechi Eze faces an uncertain future at Selhurst Park. So, it behoves the South London club to scour the market for a wide attacker, with Nelson emerging as a viable target.
As for West Ham, they have been combing the market for a wide attacker heading into the summer transfer window amid uncertainties surrounding Lucas Paqueta. So, Nelson emerged as an option worth considering for the East London club. And the 24-year-old Arsenal homegrown player has agreed to join West Ham.
The Englishman has been open to joining West Ham for a few weeks. The latest update boosts the East London club’s prospects while handing a blow to Crystal Palace. It will be interesting to see if Nelson can resurrect his stuttering career at the London Stadium.
