Arsenal midfielder Reiss Nelson is enjoying his football on-loan at Hoffenheim.

Nelson has risen above that with a talent that's already delivering in Germany, earning him a ­growing reputation as one of English ­football's notable Brits abroad.

For Nelson, it is a journey that has just started, but even he has to pinch himself at times to realise it's no dream.

“It's crazy! I would never expect myself to be in a big league like this and playing regularly at the top level, as a teenager," he told the Mirror. “But I just take every day and keep practising, keep asking questions of my team-mates and my coaches so I can learn all the time that I'm here in Germany.

“It's just a case of keeping my feet on the ground, but I've enjoyed every minute so far."
