Hammer Have Handed a Boost in the chase of Arsenal Star, it Has Been Reported.
As has been reported by The West Ham Way previously, our Hammers hold a strong interest in the Gunners winger and could be set to table a bid for the player.
It’s now been further reported that Nelson himself is eager to remain in the capital should he opt to move on from Arsenal to get his career on track, due to the lack of playing time at the Emirates.
GIVEMESPORT have stated that Nelson’s stance is a huge lift for West Ham, with a move to the Hammers looking appealing as the club look to continue a summer rebuild under new coach Julen Lopetegui.
“West Ham have been boosted ahead of potentially attempting to lure Reiss Nelson to the London Stadium as the Arsenal star is open to completing the move after deciding that his preference is to remain in the capital if he leaves his current surroundings,” it stated in the article.
On Nelson’s current position , they stated that the “lack of game time has resulted in West Ham eyeing a potential opportunity to pounce as they seek fresh competition for the likes of Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus.”
Arsenal are in a strong position when it comes to the negotiating table, with Nelson currently having 3 years to run on his current Gunners contract, although it’s felt there is confidence a deal could be struck should West Ham make a formal offer.
