Arsenal attacker Nelson: Emery has fiery side

Reiss Nelson is determined to fight for his future at Arsenal.

Nelson says it's his time to shine at Arsenal despite the club signing some quality attacking players in the summer transfer window.

"All the competition that's here, all the new wingers Arsenal have signed... I think this could be my time," Nelson told the Gunners' official website.

"I need to just keep training hard and getting all the information from the coaches and the players. If I do that, I'm going to have a big, big shout this season.

"It's about taking those steps, doing the easy thing and getting the basics right first. Once I do that, I think I will get chances. Then it's up to me to perform and do well for the team."

On working with manager Unai Emery after a year away with Hoffenheim, Nelson added: "Unai's very positive and always telling you to express yourself, but also he's got that thing where he'll tell you if you do something wrong.

"I think that's good for a coach to have two sides: the jokey side and the fiery side."
