Hoffenheim midfielder Reiss Nelson comes clean over Arsenal plans

Hoffenheim midfielder Reiss Nelson insists he still sees his future with parent club Arsenal.

The Arsenal starlet moved to Germany on a season-long loan at the end of August and has already struck four goals in just five league appearances for his new club.

"I'm liking the Bundesliga," he said. "There's a lot of top, top defenders that you come across.

"It was always going to be a challenge so when I got the offer to come out here I was excited, knowing it was going to be such a big challenge for me.

"As a person and as a player, I wanted to take the next step.

"At the moment I'm very happy here. I'm playing, I'm scoring, but I'm an Arsenal player at the end of the day, so I have to stay and do my job here, then wherever football takes me I'll go."
