Romano adds that he understands that the Gunners have started talks with the English winger&#8217;s representatives to find an agreement over a contract extension.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">:\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/04\/04\/arsenal-sell-kieran-tierney-summer\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Kieran Tierney Could Leave Arsenal in Summer Window<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It is further stated that Mikel Arteta would be happy to keep him as part of his squad for the future. This is even though the Arsenal manager has mostly used him as an impact substitute for the majority of his side&#8217;s memorable season in which they&#8217;re favourites to clinch the Premier League title.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Romano also adds that multiple European clubs are interested in signing Nelson on a free transfer if he runs down his contract with Arsenal and becomes a free agent in the summer window. His current deal expires in June and it remains to be seen if he can be convinced to stay on at his childhood club for the foreseeable future.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Nelson Enjoying His Most Prolific Season Yet With Arsenal<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a id=\"-Zq0P8rITjtgwrp6zUUvow\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1248428299\" 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:'-Zq0P8rITjtgwrp6zUUvow',sig:'YgEtruNg8Wbem0f-_3OhbLguhyMS6dsy9fp6zZFWobs=',w:'594px',h:'385px',items:'1248428299',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The 23-year-old winger has had an eventful career so far, in which he spent the 2018\/19 and 2021\/22 seasons on loan at Bundesliga side Hoffenheim and\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/08\/31\/reiss-nelson-feyenoord-loan\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Dutch club Feyenoord<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0after failing to break into the Arsenal squad.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">However, he&#8217;s been retained as a part of the senior squad for this season and has had some memorable moments with the Gunners in arguably his most prolific season yet at the Emirates Stadium.
