Hoffenheim management are discussing the prospect of keeping hold of Arsenal midfielder Reiss Nelson.

Nelson is on a season-long loan with the Germans with no permanent option.

Such has been his impact, reports Kicker, that Hoffenheim's board are eager to discuss the midfielder's stay into next season.

Having scored three goals in four games, Nelson stated: "It's not as easy as it looks, but I'm having a great run. The most important thing is the environment.

"The coach, the manager and the colleagues, all help me and drive me on."
