West Ham is closing in on securing a move for Arsenal's Reiss Nelson, according to reports from Now Arsenal. The 22-year-old has been a target for the Hammers throughout the transfer window, and a deal is now reportedly imminent. Nelson, who grew up at Arsenal, has found it challenging to make his mark in recent seasons, with limited playing time at the Emirates Stadium.
His future at the club now appears uncertain, as Arsene Wenger's side looks to reduce their squad size ahead of a potential promotion push in the Championship. West Ham sees Nelson as a valuable addition, providing the attacking depth they need to compete in the top-flight. The Englishman, meanwhile, is keen to end his tenure at Arsenal, with a move to West Ham offering him a chance to prove himself in the Premier League.
With the transfer window closing, the deal is expected to be finalized in the coming days, providing Nelson with a fresh start and West Ham with the experienced player they have been seeking.
