Former Arsenal star and Feyenoord youth coach Robin van Persie has been mentoring Reiss Nelson during his loan spell with the Dutch giants, the 22-year-old winger revealed on Wednesday.
Nelson left North London to join Feyenoord on a season-long loan last August, after Mikel Arteta decided the youngster was not part of his short-term plans.
And whilst Nelson has not provided an explosive goal return in Holland, scoring just four times in 31 appearances in all competitions, the winger has found a valuable mentor in van Persie who knows what it takes to succeed at the Emirates.
