Arsenal make breakthrough in talks with Reiss Nelson... with 23-year-old agreeing in principle to a bumper new deal worth significantly more than his current £60,000-a-week package

Reiss Nelson is expected to sign a new contract at Arsenal after a breakthrough in talks over an extension.

The Gunners attacker’s existing deal expires at the end of the month when he is free to leave the Emirates Stadium on a free transfer.

Nelson has rejected at least two contract offers this season and looked likely to leave Arsenal.

But there has been a breakthrough in negotiations with Nelson agreeing, in principle, a new deal.

Barring any last-minute hitches, Nelson will sign a long-term contract - understood to be an initial four years.
