Arsenal have received an approach from Fulham to re-sign attacker Reiss Nelson.

The structure of the deal, which is likely to be a loan, is still to be finalised but talks are ongoing as all parties try to find a resolution.

Arsenal leave for their pre-season tour of Asia on Saturday and, with Nelson available to leave this summer, there could be a benefit in concluding any transfer before then.

Gunners academy graduate Nelson spent last season on loan at Craven Cottage, making 13 appearances under Marco Silva before his season was cut short by injury.

Meanwhile, Bournemouth's's £25m deal for goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic means only three Premier League clubs have spent less than £20m on transfer fees so far this summer - Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and, of course, Fulham.

In fact, the Whites are now the only side in the division yet to make any signings so far in the summer transfer window, but this could of course change if a deal for Nelson is completed.

Are you worried by the lack of business so far? And how would you feel about re-signing Nelson?
