Arsenal star ready to leave after pre-season, Leicester in talks to sign him

Arsenal forward Reiss Nelson will consider his options after the pre-season tour of the United States amid his uncertain future at the club, according to Sky Sports.

The 24-year-old featured in 23 games across all competitions last term but started three times and is open to leaving.

Several clubs in the Premier League and Europe are keen on signing Nelson. West Ham United are monitoring his situation, while Leicester City have already held talks about signing him.

Nelson wants to remain in the Premier League if he leaves this summer, giving the 2015-16 champions a huge chance in their pursuit of the attacker following their return to the English top flight.

However, landing him will not be cheap as Nelson still has three years left on his current contract, with an option to extend it by 12 months.

Nelson has played for Arsenal on their pre-season tour and is expected to make a decision on his future when he returns to England.

Emile Smith Rowe has already agreed to join Fulham, with the Craven Cottage club reaching an agreement in principle over a £34 million deal.

Nelson could be next to leave if Leicester or West Ham can convince him to join them.

He will be eager to prove himself elsewhere after struggling to break into manager Mikel Arteta’s plans.
