Reiss Nelson is making headlines

After four straight victories to keep atop the Premier League standings, Arsenal is once again in high gear. The Arsenal maintained their five-point lead over Manchester City, who might be eight points behind by the time the international break rolls around, after their thrilling 3-2 comeback victory over Bournemouth at home on Saturday. But, Mikel Arteta will need to focus on the Europa League on Thursday since he has a trip to Sporting Lisbon planned.

Following that difficult journey to Fulham in the round of 16, the Arsenal boss must also deal with off-field matters. One of them is Reiss Nelson's uncertain future, as the Gunners this week began contract negotiations with him. Reiss Nelson is rumoured to be interested in joining for free with French club Nice. As the winger, 23, secured all three points on Saturday with a thunderbolt goal in the 97th minute, Arsenal allegedly started contract negotiations.
