Roma are looking into a permanent deal for Arsenal winger Reiss Nelson, according to Corriere dello Sport.

The Englishman has been a fringe player for the Gunners, and he is expected to be offloaded before the deadline.

Fulham have already expressed an interest in re-signing him, but they prefer a season-long loan with a buy clause.

Arsenal, on the other hand, prefer a permanent deal for the winger, considering his contract expires in June 2027.

Roma have now come forward as potential suitors for the 25-year-old graduate, who played 13 times for Fulham last season.

The Giallorossi have already spent more than £20 million on a couple of signings. Arsenal may seek a similar package.

Nelson’s exit would provide pure profit for the Gunners and also help them recoup funds for a late spending spree.

Arsenal are keen on signing a left winger and a creative playmaker before the transfer window closes on September 1.

Eberechi Eze and Rodrygo are among their prime targets.
