Fulham are pushing ahead to sign Reiss Nelson from Arsenal, with negotiations moving towards the final stages following positive progress this week.
As reported by David Ornstein on July 26, the two clubs are in advanced discussions for the 25-year-old winger, and further developments suggest a deal could be wrapped up soon — either as a loan with a purchase option or a permanent transfer.
Why Fulham Are Moving Fast for Reiss Nelson
Marco Silva is eager to strengthen his attacking options before the new campaign kicks off. Nelson, despite an injury-hit 2024/25 season, showed enough in 12 appearances to convince Fulham to reignite their interest.
The winger is not in Mikel Arteta’s long-term plans after Arsenal brought in Noni Madueke, and Nelson is believed to favour a move where regular football is guaranteed.
“He’s got pace, unpredictability and understands Silva’s system — this is a low-risk, high-reward move,” said a source close to the deal. — Football Place

He looks good in pre-season! If fit, he's def. a good player and a good addition to Fulham
