Crystal Palace in talks to sign Reiss Nelson
Crystal Palace are reportedly hoping to sign 25-year-old Arsenal attacker Reiss Nelson during the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Crystal Palace view Arsenal attacker Reiss Nelson as an alternative to Bilal El Khannouss. The North London outfit are demanding £15 million to part ways with the 25-year-old English attacker in the summer transfer window.
The 21-year-old has been expected to leave Leicester City, and Crystal Palace have been hoping to sign him. However, the deal will not be straightforward, and there have been other clubs keen on the player. Additionally, recent reports have claimed that the move has collapsed due to Leicester City’s asking price. So, Nelson could be the ideal acquisition for them.
The Arsenal winger has the quality to play regularly for Crystal Palace, and he will help them improve going forward. The Englishman has the technical attributes to succeed at a high level in the Premier League. He needs regular game time to fulfil his potential. He is versatile enough to operate on the flanks as well as centrally. He will look to help create chances for his teammates and score goals.
Nelson needs a fresh start
Crystal Palace could be the ideal opportunity for Reiss Nelson. He is unlikely to get opportunities at Arsenal this season, and the North London club will look to get rid of the player as well. The Gunners have enough depth in the attacking unit, and they will not be able to give him the opportunities he needs.
It would be ideal for them to cash in on the player and balance the books. It will be interesting to see if Crystal Palace can get the deal across the line. Reiss Nelson will be hungry to prove himself in the Premier League, and his desire to succeed will be a bonus for the Eagles.
Crystal Palace have lost Eberechi Eze to Arsenal earlier this summer, and they need to replace him. Nelson could be the ideal fit for them. He is available for a reasonable amount of money, and the £15 million investment could look like a bargain in the long run.
The Arsenal homegrown attacker will be desperate to get his career back on track with regular football, and joining a top Premier League club would be ideal. Palace recently won the FA Cup and the Community Shield. They have secured European football for this season as well.
