The Dutch side had been in pursuit of <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/08\/31\/manchester-united-jesse-lingard\/\" target=\"_self\">Manchester United<\/a> winger Amad Diallo before a move <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/08\/30\/amad-diallo-feyenoord-loan-cancelled\/\" target=\"_self\">fell through due to an injury<\/a> to the Ivorian international.<\/p>\n<p>However, Feyenoord swiftly turned their attention to Arsenal with Nelson considered a viable alternative.<\/p>\n<p>Nelson has represented England at every level between U16-U21. He has previously been away on loan with Hoffenheim in <a href=\"\/football\/category\/bundesliga\/\" target=\"_self\">Bundesliga<\/a>, where he scored seven goals in 23 league games.<\/p>\n<p>Primarily a right-winger, Nelson had shown considerable potential in the U23s, being involved in 30 goals in his 46 appearances at the level.<\/p>\n<p>Since moving up to the first team he has made 48 appearances, scoring four times and contributing to another four goals.<\/p>\n<h3>Nelson Looking Forward to Life at Feyenoord<\/h3>\n<p>Nelson is bound to get more minutes in the Eredivisie than he would in the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/08\/30\/manchester-united-break-premier-league-record\/\" target=\"_self\">Premier League<\/a> with Arsenal, giving him a greater platform to prove his level. He has only featured in 19 minutes of Arsenal&#8217;s season so far &#8211; as a substitute v <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/08\/26\/brentford-matthew-hoppe\/\" target=\"_self\">Brentford<\/a>, a 2-0 loss on the opening day.<\/p>\n<p>Reiss Nelson told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.feyenoord.com\/news\/overview\/feyenoord-take-talented-striker-reiss-nelson-on-loan\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">feyenoord.com<\/a>: &#8220;I&#8217;m looking forward to playing in this fabulous stadium. Feyenoord is a great club and a nice challenge for me. I hope that I&#8217;ll be able to give the fans something to cheer about soon.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nelson will wear the number 14 shirt and work under former Arsenal striker Robin van Persie at the club.<\/p>\n<p>Sporting director Frank Arnesen added: &#8220;We&#8217;ve been following Reiss for months now. Bringing him to Feyenoord in this transfer window was one of our priorities, so we are very happy that we&#8217;ve managed that and that we are able to welcome him today.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Reiss is a very creative striker, a rapid boy, good with his feet, who makes things very difficult for defenders in one-on-ones. We can really use a player like that in our forward line.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<br \/>\n<a id=\"fddhOHWATSlRstZYPRGQ1g\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1334075336\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'fddhOHWATSlRstZYPRGQ1g',sig:'g81krrphpjsMS9rhcZEZ-CGG_Ad5xw6pQBIVjCs0kZI=',w:'594px',h:'405px',items:'1334075336',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arsenal forward Reiss Nelson has joined Feyenoord on loan for the 2021\/22 season.
