Leicester City has initiated discussions with Arsenal over a loan deal for winger Reiss Nelson, including an obligation to buy. If financial terms are agreed upon, the move would reunite the 24-year-old with Foxes boss Steve Cooper, who managed Nelson in England’s U16s and U17s teams.

Cooper hopes the promise of regular first-team football at the King Power Stadium will entice Nelson to join. Nelson debuted for Arsenal under Arsene Wenger in the 2017/18 season but has struggled to secure a regular starting position. Despite making 23 appearances last season, he only started one Premier League match. Cooper aims to help Nelson rediscover the form that earned him a spot in the Team of the Tournament at the Under-17 European Championships in 2017.

Arsenal, meanwhile, looks to bolster their squad, with potential signings including Italy center-back Riccardo Calafiori and Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres. However, they face competition from Chelsea for Real Sociedad’s Mikel Merino.

Here is the skill highlight video of Reiss Nelson.
