Arsenal midfielder Reiss Nelson admits his senior teammates helped him to decide to join Hoffenheim.

Nelson relies on advice from the likes of Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, remaining in regular contact with senior stars at Arsenal.

The 18-year-old said: "You'd have Lacazette, Hector Bellerin, Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan all there taking free-kicks after training. We used to have a bet on who could take the best.

"They've all taken me in as a youngster, helped me into the player I am today by giving me that confidence and a lot of encouragement. They are great guys, always there if I want a quick chat."
