Zimbabwe not giving up on Arsenal and England U-21 forward Reiss Nelson

Zimbabwe are not yet giving up trying to convince Reiss Nelson to switch international allegiance from England.

Nelson has been part of all England youth national teams’ set-up and talks of him breaking into the Three Lions has heightened in recent weeks after hitting top form for Hoffenheim where he is on a season loan from Arsenal.

The 18-year-old has already expressed interest to play for the England senior national team. But Zimbabwe are still keen on Nelson as well as Harare-born 19-year-old England youth international Tristan Nydam of Scottish Premiership side St Johnston, on-loan from Ipswich Town.
