Arsenal 'close' to agreeing next deal as transfer talks ramp up

Arsenal are seemingly moving a step closer to completing yet another transfer this summer.

The Gunnershave been busy making new signings since the transfer window opened, and now it seems that some departures may be on the cards in the near future.

Reiss Nelson has been heavily linked with a move away from Arsenal following his loan spell at Fulham last term. The forward has been recovering from a hamstring injury since December after undergoing surgery and now looks set for a fresh move away from the Emirates Stadium.

The Athletic have reported that Fulham are on the verge of reaching an agreement with Arsenal to sign Nelson once again. The report claims that the deal would be another loan but would include either an option or an obligation to make the move permanent in the summer of 2026.

Even though Arsenal and Fulham are ramping up talks over a deal for Nelson, a move is yet to be agreed, with a few details still needing to be worked out.

The Gunners are reported to want an obligation to make the loan deal permanent next year as part of their negotiations. Nelson has two years left on his contract at the Emirates but could see his time as an Arsenal player effectively come to an end in the next few days.

Fulham were impressed with Nelson during his brief stint on loan at Craven Cottage last season, with the forward scoring two goals across 12 appearances.

Arsenal have until September 1 to complete their transfer business, and only time will tell if an agreement with Fulham will be reached for Nelson to leave the club.
