The former Gunners defender believes the exciting talent made the best call in leaving English shores to further his development in the Bundesliga
Reiss Nelson made the “best decision” in leaving his “comfort zone” at Arsenal to further himself in Germany with Hoffenheim, says Per Mertesacker.
The talented 18-year-old headed through the exits at Emirates Stadium in August after being made aware that first team opportunities in north London would be hard to come by.
He is, however, still held in high regard by his parent club and was tied to fresh terms before seeing a loan switch sanctioned.
