Arsenal and Fulham Advance Talks Over Nelson and Zinchenko Transfers

Active negotiations over permanent versus loan-to-buy structures aim to net Arsenal roughly £30 million in transfer fees

Overview

  • Arsenal and Fulham are in active negotiations to complete a double transfer for winger Reiss Nelson and defender-midfielder Oleksandr Zinchenko.
  • The Gunners have set a £15 million valuation for Zinchenko, who has one year remaining on his contract after logging just 522 Premier League minutes last season.
  • Talks on Nelson’s return focus on either a permanent move or a loan with an obligation to buy after his loan spell was cut short by a hamstring injury in December.
  • A permanent deal for both players would generate approximately £30 million in fees and reduce Arsenal’s wage bill by over £200,000 per week.
  • Fulham manager Marco Silva views Nelson and Zinchenko as familiar, high-ceiling talents who can bolster the club’s attacking creativity and midfield depth.
