Winger Reiss Nelson looks like he will be sold by Arsenal in the summer.
The 21-year old appears to have fallen out of favour under Mikel Arteta, despite having been praised by his manager earlier in the season.
He hasonly made 9 appearances in all competitions and has barely featured since November.
The academy graduate spent the 2018/2019 season on loan in the Bundesliga at Hoffenheim, and many expected him to be loaned out again in January.
However, whilst a number of fringe players like Joe Willock and Ainsley Maitland -Niles were allowed toto depart, Nelson stayed put,
Nelson will be entering the last two years of his contract in June and Arsenal believe that now may be the time to sell him to extract maximum value. And with the need to sell players to raise funds before they can buy to strengthen their squad, then Nelson is seen as worth sacrificing.
