West Ham targets Arsenal's Reiss Nelson for potential loan move
Summary

West Ham United is pursuing a loan move for Arsenal winger Reiss Nelson this summer. Nelson, who is in the final year of his contract, spent last season on loan at Brentford, which opted not to buy him. After returning to Arsenal, he played limited minutes in pre-season matches, including a half-hour appearance against Girona and 45 minutes against Real Betis. He did not feature in the match against Borussia Dortmund, raising speculation about his future at the club.
