Arsenal loanee ​Nelson admits struggles leaving London

Reiss Nelson admitted that it was tough to leave on loan this season.

The 19-year-old knew first team opportunities would be limited at Arsenal, which is why he went to Hoffenheim on loan.

While he has shown his talent in certain games, he also had disciplinary issues with the German club. And Nelson felt leaving London for a new city was not easy for him.

When asked by The Sun what he did in his spare time, he said: "I go bowling, but I'm not very good!

"In Heidelberg, in Hoffenheim, there's not much going on.

"I am so used to being around my London estate, so when I am here I am kind of lost in a different environment, a different area."
