Crystal Palace are in talks with Arsenal to sign Reiss Nelson for around £15m, according to The Sun’s Charlie Wyett.
The 25 year-old winger, who made twelve appearances for Fulham on loan last season and scored twice before suffering a hamstring injury in December, had been expected to return to Craven Cottage for a second season-long loan this summer. The Whites held lengthy talks with the Gunners and Nelson’s advisers but have not been able to come to an agreement on whether the deal should include an option or obligation to buy.
Arsenal’s preference has always been to sell the Hale End academy graduate in order to offer Mikel Arteta further funds to strengthen his first-team squad. Palace appear to have taken advantage of Fulham’s attempts to loan Nelson petering out and can offer the winger European football as well as the opportunity to stay in London.
Who cares if we end up with Kevin and Chukwueze? I clearly remember Nelsons last game for us. He was terrible and you just sat there hoping he would be subbed. Unfortunatly an injury caused the substitution in the end but we were much better without him and turned the game around.
at 15 mill, he is worth it especially if we can get 10 back for Adama.
Adama has a year to go and doesnt look like he will stay post this season. Get the 10 forest are rumoured to be offering and get Nelson for 15 is great business.
Not ‘great business’ if he’s on 100,000 a week and is constantly out with injuries
I spoke to Alex Crook of Talksport on Sunday in the Press box.He said that the Forest manager wanted to sign Adama knowing him from Wolves.The owner of Forest said a categorical no,hence falling out.
