'I want to be an Arsenal legend' declares Reiss Nelson

Don't worry Arsenal fans…

Reiss Nelson wants to become a legend at the Emirates.

The 18-year-old has been enjoying a terrific loan spell with Hoffenheim this season. He has scored six goals in seven Bundesliga appearances and named Bundesliga Rookie of the Month for October.

But there is no doubt in Nelson's mind where he wants to play in the future.

"Arsenal are my boyhood club," he said. "I've been with them since I was eight, so that's 10 years.

"I just want to go back there stronger because at the time I was at Arsenal I was 16, 17 and I didn't feel confident.

"I didn't think I was a man, but now I'm feeling stronger and I think a couple more months or even a year in Hoffenheim will make me strong and give me the belief and confidence to go back to Arsenal and do very good there.

"I want to be an Arsenal legend."
