Overview

• Negotiations centre on whether Nelson will join Fulham on a season-long loan with an obligation to buy or through a straight permanent transfer.
• Although both clubs are motivated to finalise terms quickly, agreement has yet to be reached and further discussions remain scheduled.
• Nelson impressed during his first loan spell at Craven Cottage with 13 consecutive appearances before a December hamstring injury ended his campaign.
• Arsenal’s summer investment in Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyökeres has limited Nelson’s prospects for regular first-team action at the Emirates Stadium.
• Fulham view the 25-year-old winger as a familiar option to fill attacking gaps left by departing veterans, while his contract at Arsenal runs until 2027 with a one-year extension clause.
