Arsenal youngster Nelson ready to fight for starting place

Arsenal academy graduate Reiss Nelson says he is ready to stay and fight for a starting place at Emirates Stadium this season.

The 20-year-old has been in and around the Gunners first-team squad for three years now, having made his senior debut in the 2017 Community Shield against Chelsea at Wembley.

He has made 39 appearances in all competitions in that time, as well as spending time out on loan at Bundesliga side Hoffenheim.
