Nelson is the future for Arsenal, but needs to believe in himself - Parlour

A former Gunner singled the winger out for praise following an FA Cup fifth-round triumph over Portsmouth at Fratton Park

Reiss Nelson is "such a good player" but needs to produce the goods for Arsenal "on a more regular basis", according to Ray Parlour.

Nelson played a starring role in the Gunners' 2-0 win over Portsmouth on Monday night, providing two assists to help the team book their place in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

The 20-year-old fired in a powerful low cross for Sokratis to turn home right on half-time, before repeating the trick for Eddie Nketiah's benefit in the 51st minute at Fratton Park.
