Arsenal winger Reiss Nelson says he's offered advice to young teammate Ethan Nwaneri.

Nelson, 22, made his debut at 17, while Nwaneri is now a Premier League player at 15.

Nelson told arsenal.com:“Yeah I've spoken to him a little bit and that's what I said to him – it happens very quickly when you look back. I understand how it is when you come over to the first-team for the first time, and the coaches are explaining the drills. The older players might know what they are asking us to do, because we've heard it before, but the newer players, it can be hard to pick up everything that was said.

“I listen to it all, but the coaches will say it once and you've got to pick it up straight away. I've been here a long time now, so I understand it, but even for me a lot has changed while I was away on loan, so you've really got to take it all in. whenever I have Ethan in my group, I try to tell him: 'bro they are asking us to do this or that'.

“It's things like that which can be difficult at first, but other than that all I've said is to carry on doing what he's doing, enjoy every moment of it, because I just want the best for him.

“He's still at school, but I was in a similar position, so hopefully I can help him too.

“When I was first training with the first-team I remember being with people like the boss, who was coming towards the end of his playing career at the time, but I remember being in groups with him, Per Mertesacker, Tomas Rosicky – all the experienced players – and they used to give me advice all the time. David Luiz was another who really helped me when I was younger, Alexandre Lacazette was another, and I appreciated that a lot."
