Reiss Nelson, the Arsenal forward, is eyeing a move away from the Emirates Stadium this summer.
His preference is to switch allegiances to Crystal Palace, a London-based rival of Arsenal.
Following a season where he featured in 15 league matches but only started one, Nelson has made the decision to part ways with Arsenal.
According to reports from Caught Offside (via TeamTalk), talks are already underway between Nelson and Crystal Palace, who are keen on acquiring his services.
Crystal Palace face the imminent departure of Michael Olise, who had an outstanding season, scoring 10 goals and providing six assists in 19 Premier League appearances in the 2023-24 season.
Leading the race to secure Nelson’s signature this summer are Chelsea, with Crystal Palace in need of an able replacement if Olise departs.
A potential swap deal involving Noni Madueke moving to Crystal Palace could be on the cards between Chelsea and the Eagles.
Despite Arsenal’s surplus of forwards, Nelson has expressed his desire to seek new opportunities and regular playing time elsewhere.
