Arsenal forward Reiss Nelson could leave the club this summer amid interest from another Premier League club, according to a new report.
Nelson has generally found game time hard to come by at the Emirates Stadium this season, with Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard ahead of him in the pecking order.
But the 23-year-old produced a special moment in March, netting a superb long-range strike against Bournemouth with the last kick of the game to ensure what could prove to be a priceless three points. After that goal, he was described as 'special' by manager Mikel Arteta.

It was Nelson's third goal in just four Premier League appearances, with the other two coming in a 5-0 win over Nottingham Forest back in October.
His contract expires at the end of the season, although the Arsenal academy graduate has previously expressed interest in prolonging his stay at the club, as per Fabrizio Romano.
However, he could end up leaving the Gunners instead.
Premier League club keen on signing Nelson
According to the Daily Mail, Brighton have expressed interest in bringing Nelson to the Amex Stadium this summer.

It is claimed by the same report that, while Arsenal have opened talks with the winger and teams from abroad are keen on signing him, he is 'attracted' by a potential move to the Seagulls, and would have a clearer path to regular first team football.
His signing would certainly fit Brighton's blueprint of signing younger first team players for low fees - the Seagulls would only need to pay a compensation fee, as Nelson is currently in the season of his 23rd birthday - and his impressive cameo performances for Arsenal will have no doubt impressed manager Roberto De Zerbi.
He would potentially fill the void left by Trossard, who departed to join the Gunners in January.
However, the England youth international may still decide to commit his long-term future to the club that gave him his senior debut.
