And that was enough for him for three goals and three assists, with which he obviously justified Arteta’s trust and ensured himself a place at the Emirates in the coming years.”I’ve been here since I was eight years old and Arsenal is all I know. I live just a few minutes from the stadium, my family is here, so of course I would like to stay,” the young striker said recently.By all accounts, the club fulfilled his wish and allowed themselves to save money because they will not have to look for a new competitor for Saka for a place on the right wing, but they will work on Nelson’s further development.🚨 Reiss Nelson is set to AGREE a new contract with Arsenal, expected to be a new four-year deal.
