DBasia.news – Reiss Nelson had a rare opportunity when Arsenal played against Newcastle United in the 2019-20 Premier League opening match last weekend. The player is believed to have appeared since the beginning of the match.
The 19-year-old player and his partner, Joe Willock, have certainly been part of Unai Emery’s squad. The manager has confirmed that both of them will get a fairly high playing time after showing their potential.
Although the Gunners have broughtin Nicolas Pepe with a transfer value of 72 million pounds, Reiss Nelson said that he was ready to continue to show his best efforts on the field. The English player is ready to take advantage of all the playing opportunities given to him by Emery.
“I will only try to make the best of the opportunity given to me. I must always be ready to be called by Unai Emery as I understand things like this are no guarantee for me to perform every week. We have (Pierre-Emerick) Aubameyang, (Nicolas) Pepe, and (Alexandre) Lacazette. Young players like me must always be ready to take advantage of all the opportunities given, “Reiss Nelson said in an interview quoted by Football London.
In the match against the Magpies, Nelson had the opportunity to appear in the fourth match in the Premier League in his career. Previously the English player was loaned to Hoffenheim in the 2018/19 season and appeared in 23 Bundesliga matches.
