In a potential EPL transfer twist, Arsenal’s Reiss Nelson is eyeing a move away from the Emirates Stadium.
His sights are set on joining Crystal Palace, one of Arsenal’s London rivals in the upcoming season.
After a season where he only started one of the 15 league games he played for Arsenal, Nelson has made the decision to depart the club.
Reports from Caught Offside (via TeamTalk) suggest that Nelson is in talks with Crystal Palace, who are keen on securing his services.
Crystal Palace may need to find a replacement for Michael Olise, who had an impressive run with the club last season.
The French U-21 forward scored 10 goals and contributed six assists in 19 Premier League appearances during the 2023-24 season.
While Chelsea is also interested in signing Nelson this summer, Crystal Palace is prioritizing the Arsenal forward as a potential target.
If a deal materializes, there is speculation that a swap involving Noni Madueke could be on the cards with Chelsea.
Nelson has made it clear that he does not see his future with Arsenal under Mikel Arteta and is seeking more playing time elsewhere.
At 24 years old, Nelson is surplus to requirements at Arsenal and is looking for a fresh start with a new club.
