Arsenal midfielder Nelson: Sancho convinced me about Hoffenheim

Arsenal midfielder Reiss Nelson has enjoyed the first months of his loan with Hoffenheim.

Jadon Sancho, who signed for Borussia Dortmund last season, is good friends with the Arsenal academy graduate and was adamant his fellow winger would flourish in Germany.

Sancho has won continued recognition for his displays at Dortmund, culminating in a senior international debut in Croatia last week

"Jadon knows I like one against ones, he knows I'm a fast player and said there were a lot of those opportunities," Nelson said.

"We've got a lot of similarities so he said I should go over there and that's how I can show my brilliance."
