Fulham have secured the services of winger Reiss Nelson from Arsenal on a season-long loan.
Nelson, a product of Arsenal's academy, began his journey with the Gunners at just eight years old. He made his senior debut in Arsenal's 2017 Community Shield win over Chelsea and went on to make 16 appearances that season across all competitions.
His career saw him gain experience on loan at Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga, where he became the third-youngest player to score five goals in the league and also experienced Champions League football.
Nelson scored seven goals in 23 Bundesliga matches and returned to Arsenal to score his first goals for the club in the 2019/20 season.
A subsequent loan spell with Feyenoord in the Netherlands saw him help the team reach the Conference League Final, contributing to 11 goals during his stint.
Last season, Nelson made 23 appearances as Arsenal contended with Manchester City for the Premier League title, bringing his total to 90 appearances for the club, with eight goals and nine assists.
On the international stage, Nelson has also been prolific for England's youth teams, scoring 21 goals in 36 appearances from Under-17 to Under-21 levels.
