The summer transfer window has finally closed with a lot of moves on the deadline day. Arsenal signed Raheem Sterling from their london rivals Chelsea. On the other hand, their two academy players made a move away on the deadline day. Eddie Nketiah joined Crystal Palace on a permanent deal. He was followed by Reiss Nelson who moved away from Arsenal to join Fulham on a loan deal. Fulham have reunited Nelson with Emile Smith Rowe who joined them in early August.
Ipswich town were another interested party to sign Reiss Nelson. However, Fulham came in strong on deadline day and secured his signature. The 24 year old winger is Arsenal academy players and has played for them 90 times. He has already had loan moves to Feyenoord and Hoffenheim. Nelson was unable to receive enough gametime last season which triggered his move away from the Emirates.
Fulham reunite Nelson with his Arsenal teammate
Fulham signed Emile Smith Rowe in early August from Arsenal. They have now reunited him with Nelson who mainly plays as a right winger. However, Nelson can also feature on the other side of flank and occasionally behind the striker as well. With Arsenal signing Sterling, the move is said to be in the best interest of all three parties involved. Nelson can earn a more gametime at Fulham whereas Fulham will get an experienced winger who has spent time at a top club. To conclude, Arsenal will earn a pure profit from this deal as Nelson is their academy product.
Nelson has been announced officially on Fulham’s official website. Their owner Tony Khan said that he is happy to welcome Reiss Nelson to Fulham. He added that Nelson is a talented young player. In the end, Khan said that the arrival of Nelson concludes the summer transfer window for Fulham and that they are looking to have a great season ahead.
