Despite signing a new four-year contract with the Gunners last July, Nelson's limited playing time under Mikel Arteta has opened the door for a potential move away from the Emirates.

Although Nelson is a homegrown player, and Arsenal are keen to maintain their homegrown player quota, sources have told Football Insider that the club is willing to part ways with him if a substantial offer is received. The Gunners are prioritising strengthening their attack, and Nelson's departure could free up both funds and squad space for new arrivals.

Nelson, who has been with Arsenal since the age of nine, has made 89 appearances for the club since his debut in 2017. However, his opportunities have been limited in recent seasons, and he has struggled to cement a regular starting spot.

The coming weeks will reveal whether any club meets Arsenal's valuation for Nelson, but his availability is likely to attract interest from several Premier League clubs. Brighton, who were reportedly keen on signing him last summer, could also rekindle their interest, while other clubs are expected to join the race for his signature.
