West Ham United have been handed a big boost in our pursuit of Arsenal winger Reiss Nelson.

Arsenal ace Reiss Nelson is a transfer target for West Ham ahead of the summer transfer window according to a report from 90 Min.

And the Hammers may well have a great chance of signing the 23-year-old Gunners star this summer, according to the Daily Mail.

West Ham have allegedly been tracking the talented young Arsenal forward for quite some time now.

And the stars seem to be aligning for David Moyes to bring Nelson to the London Stadium from the Emirates for an absolute bargain…

West Ham could seal Reiss Nelson signing from Arsenal

According to a report from the Daily Mail, the 23-year-old is unlikely to sign a new deal with the Gunners.

So the Hammers would be able to sign him on a free transfer this summer. And on top of that, Nelson would prefer to stay in London.

That means that West Ham should have a huge advantage over the other two clubs chasing the Arsenal man’s signature – Aston Villa and Brighton.

I think he would be a truly exceptional addition to Moyes’s ranks at the London Stadium, especially on a free transfer!

Nelson possesses absolutely rapid pace and has exceptional technical ability.

His 30-minute cameo display for Arsenal against Bournemouth last month highlighted just how much he has to offer at Premier League level.

The 23-year-old’s skill, technique and blistering pace would offer West Ham something entirely different inside the final third.

Reiss Nelson has never quite hit the heights that were expected of him at Arsenal, and a move away from the Emirates to a club like West Ham may well be exactly what he needs in order to reinvigorate his career.

I think that the 23-year-old swapping North London for East London would be the perfect outcome for all parties concerned this summer.
