Former Arsenal striker Perry Groves is urging Reiss Nelson to move out on-loan.

Nelson has emerged as the star of Arsenal's pre-season after a string of stunning displays in pre-season, most notably in the 5-2 Emirates Cup win over Benfica where his assist for Olivier Giroud had Gunners' fans aghast.

"He needs to move out on loan and get real game experience, not under-21 games," Groves told bwin. “Jack Wilshere was a great example of this when he went to Bolton.

“I would like to see Reiss go somewhere that plays a similar style to Arsenal, such as MK Dons – who have a nice reputation of playing a good brand of football. He could play as a wide forward in a 4-3-3 or more centrally in a 3-4-2-1, but it needs to be a natural position for him and not a forced one."
