Arsenal fringe player Reiss Nelson has signed a new long-term contract with the club.

Nelson, who was uncertain about renewing with the Gunners given his lack of first team opportunities, ultimately committed to a new deal.

The club officially announced that he has put pen to paper on a contract that will take him to 2027.

There is the option of extending Nelson's deal by a further year, which protects the club's asset.

Sporting director Edu said: "We are so happy to agree a new deal with Reiss, and we are proud that he is another young player who has developed through our Academy into our first team."

Nelson faces a pivotal season as he hopes to gain a regular role in manager Mikel Arteta's side.
