Arsenal have opened negotiations with Fulham over a possible loan agreement for Reiss Nelson this summer, as per Miguel Delaney.

Nelson has been deemed surplus to requirements by the Gunners, and he is poised to leave on another temporary deal.

The 25-year-old had a productive loan stint with the Cottagers before his season-ending hamstring injury last campaign.

Fulham are interested in re-signing him on loan, but the Gunners may want an option to buy included as part of the deal.

Nelson has also been linked with Sunderland and West Ham, but he is reportedly keen on a return to Craven Cottage.

The winger shares a good relationship with manager Marco Silva, who is prepared to assure him regular playing time.

Alongside Nelson, Fabio Vieira, Jakub Kiwior, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Albert Lokonga are expected to head out.

Young goalkeeper Karl Hein has already secured an exit. He has signed for Werder Bremen on a year-long loan deal.
