Arsenal will not allow Reiss Nelson to complete a permanent switch to Hoffenheim in the near future, according to claims from Bild, as cited by talkSPORT.
The England Under-21 international is currently out on loan with the Bundesliga club and has started the season in fine form.
Nelson has emerged as an important cog in Julian Nagelsmann’s team in the early periods of the new campaign. From wide areas, the youngster has already found the net on four occasions in the Bundesliga.
Hoffenheim has reportedly been exploring the possibility of landing Nelson on a permanent basis at the end of the season, with the club evidently impressed with the winger’s efforts.
However, Arsenal are believed to view Nelson as a big part of their plans for the future and will resist any proposals for the 18-year-old.
Nelson played a sporadic role in Arsenal’s first-team under Arsene Wenger last season but Unai Emery opted to allow the prospect to depart on a temporary basis in order for him to gain valuable experience of weekly game-time.
