Arsenal’s Young Player is Grateful to Know Football

DBasia.news –  Arsenal young player, Reiss Nelson also stole the attention during the FA Cup fifth round match between Arsenal vs Portsmouth, Tuesday (03/03) AM.

Although not playing full time, Nelson’s appearance was considered great. He was also said to be the star of the London Cannon team in the future.

Aged 20, the player who plays as a right wing almost turned to the dark side. Quoted from The Sun, Thursday (05/03), Nelson almost became a member of a criminal gang if he did not take advice from his brother.

Nelson was born in Elephant and Castle, Southwark, London and grew up in the bronx area of ​​Aylesbury Estate. Located in South London, this area is indeed known as an area which has a fairly high criminal record in the UK.

“It’s easy to say that you can do this and that but I came from an environment that doesn’t know what to do. “If there was no football, I don’t know what I would have done,” Nelson said as quoted by the Evening Standard.

“It could be that I entered the criminal gang, use narcotics and negative things like that without football. That often happens in South London, “he added.

Nelson mentioned many of his peers who eventually entered the dark side. He claimed that his brother gave him encouragement and motivation to focus on football.

“My brother really influenced me. He always encouraged me to focus on football. That’s all he does and it’s very important, “said the Arsenal young star.
