EPL: Arsenal striker moves to join London rivals

Arsenal forward Reiss Nelson wants to leave the Emirates Stadium this summer.

The player is interested in moving to Arsenal’s London rivals Crystal Palace.

The player has decided to leave Arsenal following a season where he played 15 league games, but started only one.

According to a report from Caught Offside (via TeamTalk), the player is already speaking with the Eagles, who are also interested in making a move for him.

The Eagles look set to lose Michael Olise, who was one of their best players throughout the campaign.

The French U-21 attacker scored 10 goals and provided six assists in 19 Premier League games in the 2023-24 season.

Chelsea are top on the list of clubs seeking to sign the player this summer and the Eagles will need a replacement if he leaves.

Chelsea might decide on a swap deal with Chelsea that will see Noni Madueke switch places with Olise.

However, the Eagles have set sights on Reiss Nelson after the forward reportedly made it clear that he had no intentions of continuing his career with Mikel Arteta’s side.

The 24-year-old seems surplus to requirements at Arsenal and is looking for increased playing time elsewhere.
