ARSENAL star Reiss Nelson has allegedly told the club he is considering leaving - just a year after penning a new long-term deal.
The 24-year-old joined the club way back in 2008 aged eight and has progressed through their academy into the first-team.
After making his debut in the 2017/18 campaign, he went on to have stints on loan in Germany with Hoffenheim and Holland with Feyenoord.
Former England U21 international Nelson played a key role as Arsenal finished second to Man City in the 2022/23 campaign.
His displays even earned him a new deal 12 months ago as he committed his future to the Emirates for a further four years.

However, The Athletic have now claimed that his time at Arsenal could be coming to an end.
Nelson’s game-time has been limited over the past season, in which the Gunners finished behind City again.
He only scored once and produced two assists in his 23 appearances, which were largely from the bench.
Now this fresh report has claimed that after making just one Premier League start he is now weighing-up his future.
And he has allegedly informed Mikel Arteta and club chiefs of his intention to “assess” his options before returning to pre-season.
