Reiss Nelson will join Brentford on a season-long loan from Arsenal. The 25-year-old attracted interest from Fulham and Villarreal among other domestic and European options, with Brentford prevailing. Nelson spent last season on loan at Fulham, making 12 appearances under Marco Silva before a hamstring injury cut his campaign short. He is a former England Under-21 international and previously had loan spells at Hoffenheim and Feyenoord. Nelson has made 61 Premier League appearances for Arsenal and Fulham, including 46 as a substitute, scoring five goals and registering three assists. Brentford's recruitment of Nelson coincides with Yoane Wissa's expected move to Newcastle United.
