Arsenal are reportedly open to the prospect of Reiss Nelson leaving on loan during the January transfer window.

Arsenal are reportedly prepared to let Reiss Nelson leave on loan in the January transfer window.

With the Gunners competing in three competitons, they are keen to bring in reinforcements over the next four weeks.

A recent report claimed that Mikel Arteta is hoping to make as many as three new signings before the window shuts at the end of the month.

While the Gunners are determined to strengthen Arteta's current options, they are open to the prospect of players leaving in the current market.

The likes of Jakub Kiwior, Jorginho and Thomas Partey have all been linked with moves away, amid uncertainty surrounding their Arsenal futures.

According to Football Insider, Nelson is another player that the Gunners are willing to let go in the January transfer window.

Although they are reluctant to sanction a permanent sale, they are prepared to listen to loan offers for the 24-year-old.

The report claims that Nelson is currently attracting interest from a number of Premier League clubs as well as sides from across Europe.

After registering three goals and three assists in 18 competitive appearances last season, Nelson put pen to paper on a new deal ahead of the 2023-24 campaign.

The former England Under-21 international signed a new contract until the summer of 2027 with an option to extend by a further year.

Despite committing his long-term future to the club, Nelson has been unable to force his way into Arteta's first-choice starting XI this season.

The Arsenal academy product has had to settle for three starts in 16 appearances across all competitons, while he has failed to feature from kickoff in any of the club's 20 Premier League matches this term.

With that situation unlikely to change in the second half of the season, a loan move would enable Nelson to gain valuable game time elsewhere.

The winger has previously spent time on loan with Bundesliga side Hoffenheim in 2018-19 and Dutch giants Feyenoord in 2021-22.
