Nelson joined Arsenal's academy aged eight
- Published
Arsenal winger Reiss Nelson is set to join fellow Premier League club Brentford on a season-long loan.
The 25-year-old had interest from Fulham and Villarreal among other domestic and European options, but the Bees have won the race for the Arsenal academy graduate.
Nelson spent last season on loan at Fulham, making 12 appearances under manager Marco Silva before his campaign was cut short by a hamstring injury.
A former England Under-21 international, he has also had spells on loan at German club Hoffenheim and Dutch side Feyenoord.
Nelson has made 61 Premier League appearances during his time with Arsenal and Fulham, including 46 as a substitute, and scored five goals while registering three assists.
Brentford's move for Nelson comes as Yoane Wissa is close to leaving the club to join Newcastle United.
